This wine is fresh yet a bit shy on the nose, while the palate offers red plums, black cherries, licorice, mint and minerals. Tangy, tingly acidity and finely grained tannins give the palate an explosive energy before it tapers into a medium, fruit-filled finish. Pair with light lunches of poultry-filled sandwiches, Swiss cheese and roasted tomatoes. This should hold thanks to its liveliness, so drink now–2020.
