Medium-full red color; dusty hue of maturity at the rim. Warm, soft nose: red cherry, red curry, marjoram, asphalt. Sappy mid-weight palate. Some tannin. Decent acidity. A laid-back Montestafano. No lack of style but we could have used a little more grip. A bit one-dimensional, a bit forward. Good though. These can be finished up over the next couple years. Now – 2015.
