Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
The nose is beyond intriguing. Imagine sticking your face in a leather bag full of sour black cherries, chocolate shavings, and wild green foliage. Raisin-ey on the palate, with great complexity. Is it minty, or more of a tarragon? Not sure...but give me more! It gets a touch sour towards the finish...maybe it needs another few years to soften up.

Mildly astringent, but good with pizza, Valpolicella at Wanby Landing, Kennebunk, ME

Beautiful bold full flavoured wine.
Should be a staple in anyone's cellar.

Smooth, black cherry, fruit forward, short finish. Looks heavy almost like a heavy Pinot noir. Great on its own and more fruity with a cheese plate. Great compliment to Italian dinner. 2011
