Wine Review: This deep purple colored Merlot based wine from Sette Ponti opens with a barnyard, cinnamon, and cedar bouquet with hints of blueberry, dark chocolate, and black currant. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated plus acidity. The mouthfeel is silky, seamless, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a cedar influenced black cherry with notes of tobacco and oolong tea. We also detected hints of stewed black plum, cassis, and black olive. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and refined polished tannins drift away nicely. We would pair this red blend with Morimoto's hoisin chili sticky spareribs. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Ruby red with violet hues. Intense and broad aromatic baggage, where notes of succulent red fruits emerge and give way to spicy characters of licorice and roasted coffee. Powerful and structured, with velvety tannins in balance with a vibrant, crisp character. Finish of remarkable length and savoriness. Pair with fine meats, game, or with braised red meats.
