Dark purple red. Luscious dark fruit nose that sends out waves of blackberry, black raspberry, and cassis. Cascades of dark fruit (blackberry and elderberry), smooth tannins, and juicy acidity on the midpalate. Nicely balanced finish of tannic fruit.
With food: Nice match with homemade upside down lasagna.
Wine: 2008 Acustic, Montsant 14.5% abv grenache blended with samso
