On the nose the wine has a complex bouquet that includes a unique spice character (maybe sassafras or anise?) dark cherries, and dark berry fruit. On the palate, it is medium- to full- bodied, well balanced with acidity for food. It has flavors of boysenberry and chocolate with a dry finish that has hints of rose petal. It can also be enjoyed with sheep's milk cheese and salami as well as penne with pork meatballs. This is truly a special wine from a special vineyard!
