Winery Review: "Don’t let the pale
garnet color fool you: this is a substantial wine. Aromas of red
fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and
plums. On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly
rich, yet easygoing red wine. Pair this
wine with sausage, spicy curry sauces, hot soppressata, and tandoori chicken."
My Review: This was a dull brown-red color that made me skeptical about this Librandi. There was strawberry jam, pomegranates and black peppercorn on the nose> I was also getting the wine's tannic character on the nose as well. Again, strong tannins on the palate and very dominant notes of soy sauce. There was a smooth surface texture with a little spice coming out on the finish. This should be paired with spicy Asian food- maybe drunken noodles or pad thai- or dumplings.
