Wine Review: This dark ruby colored blend from Italy opens with a brambly boysenberry and cinnamon bouquet with hints of red currant and red licorice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and fruit forward. The flavor profile is a concentrated boysenberry, clove, and black cherry blend with notes of graphite. I also detected hints of Skoal and dried strawberry. The finish is dry and its dusty tannins and fruit stick around for quite some time. I would pair this blend with a crostini with duck confit and red onion jam. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Ruby red with purple hues, the nose releases a complexity of aromas ranging from ripe red fruits and Mediterranean scrub to delicate notes of fresh tobacco and spices. Smooth and silky on the palate, yet sustained by an acidic streak that gives a crisp and persistent finish. Pair with braised or roasted meats and hard cheeses.
