Wine Review: This ruby colored wine opens with a light cherry like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is nicely balanced and very easy to drink with slightly sour black cherry flavors. The finish is dry and its soft tannins linger slightly. This is a very nice food wine that would pair very well with chicken parmigianna. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Deep, attractive ruby red colour. Elegantly fruity nose, with marked scents of wild red berries foregrounding nuances of mixed spices. The palate, too, shows excellent fruit supported by judicious tannins. Lengthy finish.
