Dusty garnet color. Aromas of grilled root vegetables and dried cherries in honey with a round, vibrant, dry yet fruity medium body. A smooth, interesting, medium-length marinated strawberry, clove, & black tea with forest fruit finish with medium tannins & moderate oak flavor. An earthy, well rounded Italian red that will be a conversation piece at the table.
