"The description--"soft, fruit driven"--is very accurate. It's very mild, with a fruitiness and freshness you can taste throughout your mouth. The spiciness is subtle on initial sip, and more intense on the finish. We drank it by itself, but I can see it pairing with cheese or spicy tomato based sauces." - Orion on TotalWine

Review: This wine has a very fruit forward aroma, smells of plum and black cherries, dark red fruits. The taste is savory with a prominent pepper flavor. It's not very tannic, which is what I prefer because it goes down smooth. I paired it with Beef Ragu, it brings out the tomato and beef flavors, makes them a bit lighter/sweeter and adds to it with its peppered taste. Overall, this is a good wine to pair with tomato based dishes.
