The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Tart cherry and red plum lead, with a quiet undercurrent of dried oregano and dusty earth. A faint almond skin note emerges as it sits.
Palate
Medium bodied, juicy and direct. Bright sour cherry hits first, then plum, then a savory dried herb and clove spice that firms up the mid palate. Acidity is brisk, tannins are fine and grippy.
Finish
Clean and firm, with lingering tart cherry and a dry earthy echo. Medium length, invites another sip.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Serve slightly cool, around 60 to 65 degrees, in a standard red wine glass. No decanting needed, but a quick pour and a few minutes of air softens the edges. For a large format, keep the bottle upright and re-cork tightly; the wine holds well for a few days.
