Lively aromas of warm berries, plum, oak, and a trace of green tea introduce this fullbodied but accommodating wine. On the palate it is round and ripe, its fruit flavors topped with strawberry and black cherry notes and a hint of sweet honeydew melon. The structure is evident but restrained, not stripping or drying. It’s a tasty companion for spaghetti with meatballs studded with morel mushrooms or a full-flavored fish, such as King salmon lightly charred on a smoky grill. -winery
