Clear dusty garnet color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate covered dried cherry, rose petal, beeswax, and hint of sandalwood with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, compelling, medium-long finish conveying notes of bing cherry, mulberry, cedar shavings, and leather and garden herbs with coating, grippy, drying, medium, well-integrated tannins. A chewy, even-tempered Italian red that will shine at the table with meaty pasta fare.
