Drinks like a mongrel of brunello and pinot, with the posture of Nebbiolo. Intense black cherry fruit, tightly knight with grilled herbs/smoke. Excellent minerality/texture on the finish (keeping the 15% alc. in check) and deceptively integrated tannins.

Pleasantly surprised, good tannins, nice balance. Went great with the sausage and mushroom pizza.

My go-to red. Sharp cherries, dark chocolate, mouth-watering cranberry.

So smooth. A great pizza wine. Would've rated it higher, but the oak is a bit over the top. 2012.
