Wine Review: This translucent and medium ruby colored wine from Tuscany opens with a mild cigar box and wet stone bouquet with hints of blackberry and dried cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with nicely integrated acidity. The mouthfeel is velvety, polished, and balanced. The flavor profile is a mineral influenced spiced black plum with notes of blackberry and loam. We also detected hints of chocolate and black pepper. The finish is dry, and its dusty fine tannins linger and last for a while. This wine paired perfectly with Grandma’s Lasagna. Enjoy – Ken & Mark

Winemaker Notes: A dark red color, with a bright rim. The nose is prominent, rich with notes of hedgerows and red fruits such as raspberries and blueberries, interlaced with hints of white chocolate. The palate is dynamic, a generous wine which is at the same time taut and expansive. A lovely glass of wine, which reflects the excellent vintage, highlighting the varietal characteristics well – great structure and approachable. The link between the bouquet and the palate is strong and lasts throughout the wine's excellent length.
