This dark ruby colored blend from Italy opens with a brambly boysenberry and cinnamon bouquet with hints of red currant and red licorice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and fruit forward. The flavor profile is a concentrated boysenberry, clove, and black cherry blend with notes of graphite. I also detected hints of Skoal and dried strawberry. The finish is dry and its dusty tannins and fruit stick around for quite some time.

Both flavors of dark plum and blackberry surge through a smooth, velvety texture in this dynamic and finely knit wine. Dark spice notes enliven the rich fruit as the wine gains layers of fennel and tobacco.
