Poured into a decanter about three hours prior to dinner. The 2012 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears and no obvious signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with heavy notes of Morello cherry, exotic spices, bergamot, black tea, red flowers, cola nut and stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is a remarkable 2012 Riserva that hides its 15% alcohol about as good as any I have encountered. Full of character and full of life. My last bottle, but I hope to encounter this beauty again at some point in the future. Drink now through 2032. — 12 days ago

This was a recommendation of the sommelier in Paris for an after meal wine. She was so right, the wine is fresh, balanced, elegant, rich but dry, and with good length. Really good and interesting stuff. — 3 years ago

Just like it’s name, a solid and sensible natural red that’s not too tart while berry fresh and drinkable. $24 from Gemini Bottle Shop. — 5 years ago

Natural Zinfandel recommended when I asked for something not as tart. Slightly mushroomy / peppery finish, very enjoyable. Purchased from Gemini Bottle Co — 5 years ago
