Deep dark plum hue with aromas of berry fruit tart, with baking spice Washington State cherries.
Palate--Relaxed structure, almost lazy but not, big spicy front with berry in the middle.
Hmmm, not sure what to make of this. First--the label is eye catching and fun! I love Montepulciano D'Abruzzo and maybe its youthfulness is getting in my way. Not in a bad way, just ambivalent. I am going to guess the structure of this will make this an exceptional food wine, so I withhold judgement *until I get my charcoal grilled lamb shanks of the grill.
*My cumin laced grilled lamb shanks was spectacular with this wine! Or should I say this wine was spectacular with my lamb shanks?
Whatever; at $9 for this bottle, it was a perfect pairing and made you want more of everything. So, raise a glass!
