“Deep red. Cool aromas of fresh red berries, violet and delicate herbs. Then juicy, fresh and a little tight on the palate, with good energy to the red berry, licorice and mineral flavors. A delicate, rocky style with bright tannins and acids on the medium-long, strongly saline finish. I like the fact that this wine actually does remind you of the monica grape variety, especially on the nose; I give it an extra point for varietal accuracy.”

As black as tar, this monica-based blend is simple, dense and slightly sweet. Spicy grilled sausages will cut through its mild tannin.
