Apollo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Dark, powerful wine. Blackberry & cracked pepper with chalky tannins just played perfectly with grillled Tri tip. This showed some great earthy notes as it opened up. Thoroughly enjoyed this wine. Paired up with what should be a country rock classic, The Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark. Ex-Byrd Gene Clark had a better run after he left the band & this is one of his highlights.

Black cherry, strongly tannic, really screams out for tomato sauce and cheese. Perfect for pasta with raw tomato/capers/roasted cauliflower.
