Okay, we are allowed to get excited by wine and this one rings that bell. Big fruity nose that transitions into raisin, brown sugar, and baking spices with a lightly dry, smoky cigar finish. It is amazingly balanced and ooohhh soooo smooth. This one doesn’t just ring the bell it slaps it down and takes it home. Would go amazingly with all kinds of pasta but pasta bolognese would be our throw down with this bad boy!
