My Rating: 4 Stars
A very nice food-friendly wine. Beautiful color and nice red berry-rich nose. It followed up on the palate with raspberry and cherry fruit, and loads of green peppers. The latter really made it go well with the classic pepperoni and vegetable pizza that we paired with it. It finished with a mild dose of tannins and a slightly metallic aftertaste. A little pricey, but different and tasty enough to get again.
