Nov 2017 – Very aromatic nose of blue fruits and characteristic violets. Aromatically it jumps out the glass and is very attractive. The palate is medium bodied and the darker fruit profile is met with oak and tannins that seem to want time to integrate. The palate also has some earthy minerality in the back. Youthful and approachable, fun rather than serious, the medium bodied nature of this wine is quite attractive and it is clean and can work well on its own or with a marinara pasta rather than grilled meats.
