Ruby red in color, this rich red opens with fragrances of black pepper and fruit. Toasty notes, with chocolate and vanilla join in on the palate, making this a smooth Italian blend to savor again and again.

95 points, Wine Spectator: "Dark color, with impressive aromas of licorice, pepepr, currants and berries. Full-bodied, with super silky and powerful tannins, yet reserved and balanced. Very harmonious, with a long finish."

This wine was recently featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.
