December. 2011 - The 2007 is a blend of Montepulciano and Merlot that exhibits a dark ruby color, with notes of blackberry, black cherry and plum along with some licorice. This is backed with nice acidity, firm tannins and a grippy finish. This should be a nice food to pair with pasta or tomato based dishes. (Drink 2011-2015) - JD
