This finally came together. This blend of Cab S, Merlot, San Giovese and Syrah is in a great spot.
Nose filled with sweet red fruit, ripe cherries and almond paste. The tanins are soft and the mouthfeel silky. Nice herb touch too. Paired with spaghetti with tomatoes/ preserved lemon/ honey/ cream sauce and that matched very very well. — 7 months ago

Very boozey first sip, but after that the taste is filled with slight cherry notes and nutty/woodsy aroma. Paired this with an arrabbiata pasta and it went well.
