Tasted at the winery. This is a blend of 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, 5% Croatina, and 5% Oseleta. 17% abv. Garnet in color with a darker core, opaque and bright. The nose is enticing with black cherries, prunes, anise, char, and slight chocolate covered raisins. Full bodied. Soft, pillowy texture. Light to medium tannins. Great acidity. On the palate, black cherries, dried cherries, dark chocolate, raisins and char. Some warmth on the finish. Long finish. This is complex and deep and unwinds nicely in the glass. It is lovely on its own and will work with hearty foods.
