Description

Store Tasting Team Review
Rated 92
This well-crafted, Mediterranean red is a beautiful cherry-red colored wine with intense ruby tones and a balanced, complex fruity bouquet; mulberry, currant, plums, hints of cacao and leather with spicy, peppery scents. Full bodied with a lingering aftertaste of quince, you'll find mineral and balsamic tones that remind you of the terroir. A perfect accompaniment for grilled meats, poultry, red meat and cheese.
