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.

This was silvery green in color with some gold hues, clear and bright.  A nice mousse with lots of medium sized bubbles.  The nose is vibrant with green apples, peach and a slight minerality.  Medium bodied.  Refreshing acidity.  On the palate, limes and green apples.  Good clean finish. This drinks well on its own and is very food friendly.  It would work nicely for a summer lunch of say, chicken or tuna salad.  It is nicely priced under $20 and often closer to $15.  Drink now.
