“Red fruits, plums, cocoa, and spice on the nose carry through to the structured, fresh palate which echoes Bordeaux stylistically. Medium-bodied with firm acidity, there’s enough flavor and character to warrant this a weeknight pasta or meat selection, though the tidy finish runs a bit short. Taste improved and tannins softened after a day of decanting. A blend of indigenous grapes Areni, Kakhet, and Haghtanak.”
