Deep purple color. Inviting aromas and flavors of stewed forest berries, ripe plum, biscuit with honey butter, red apples, and nutmeg with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium body and a smooth, engaging, medium-long finish displaying notes of pomegranate, black tea, and sweet tobacco with light oak flavor. A bold, fruity wine with lots of appeal; a great choice to serve as an all-around crowd pleaser or for Italian wine lovers.
