Dark, glass-clinging reddish purple. Deep dish dark berry cobbler on the nose. Full-bodied palate yields that cobbler with an herbal note and a slightly burnt crust. Medium acidity. Dusty, medium minus tannins. Moderate finish. A classic "Cal-Ital" red with just enough backbone for lighter meals, but not too much for sipping or a cheese plate. Drink now through 2029. Sooner is better.
