Blend of Negroamaro (90%) and Malvasia Nera (10%). Bright ruby color with a distinct brick rim. Aromas of black fruits, roasted meat and purple flowers. Flavors of black cherry, ripe plums and baking spices. Long, earthy and powerful finish. Bone dry, rustic and full bodied. Thanks for opening, Chris B. Revisited in October 2014. Still bright and fresh. Aging beautifully. — 5 months ago

Light bodied but bouquet is spicy almost curry-like, tastes intensely oaky, peppery, with leathery mouth feel, finishing with still some tannins despite 8 years in the bottle. Love this complex red — a year ago

Lovely, rich, powerful southern red. 2016 vintage drinkable now but could lay down for a few more years, and be even more lush. — 5 years ago
