Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Filled with floral, blackberry, spice, cherry, cocoa and underbrush aromas and flavors. Dry, medium-bodied with ideal intensity and a very pleasing balance. This is a richly flavored wine. This wine contains only 13 mg/L of free sulfur. My note: Lovely purity of fruit here with notes of black cherries and cranberries, as well as grilled meat, spices and cedar. Terrific length of flavor and finish. Food matches: mushroom risotto, veal cutlets, grilled meats, smoked meat sandwich, roast beef with gravy, aged blue cheese.
