Dark purple garnet in the glass. Nose of plum, molasses, and cocoa. Medium full body, medium tannins, medium acidity. Palate of juicy plum, cobbler crust, blackstrap molasses, hints, clove. Medium short finish. Still some time left, too. This is one of the eastern greats. Enjoyable as a "sipper" but especially with hearty foods. Another triumph by Anthony Vietri!

Mar 22nd, 2017Deep red garnet in color. Big bosomy nose of red fruit and fig. Full mouthfeel. Balsamic cherries and red apple peel on the palate. Medium plus acidity puts it squarely in the food-friendly column. Piemontese fare, American lamb, or a lighter cut of steak (veal perhaps). And all this right in my backyard!
