WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Quite intense, bright ruby color with garnet tints.Clean, uplifted berry character, young and quite plump aroma with some spiciness (pepper).Medium bodied, with soft fruit flavors and some light tannin and a little acidity on the finish giving a nice freshness.Under proper storage conditions, this wine will drink well for at least 4 - 6 years.Suggested Food: Pasta, poultry, white and red meat, duck, cheeses.
