Winery review:  Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats.

My review:  This had a nice fruity aroma.  I thought was very approachable and balanced.  Appreciated the soft tannins. Thought it was a solid wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
