Bold, pungent and savory, with boisterous red cherry fruit, the Rosso will please readers who enjoy hearty, flavorful reds. There are some rough contours, but that won’t be much of an issue at the dinner table, where this flavorful red is sure to be at its best and most rewarding.

Coming from an interesting blend of Nebbiolo, Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Zinfandel, Primitivo, and Barbera that’s all from the estate Centennial Mountain Vineyard, the 2017 Rosso has a more reserved yet layered bouquet of ripe blackberry and raspberry fruits interwoven with notes of brambly herbs, spice, chocolate, and loamy earth. It’s another wine that opens up with air and is beautiful on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, a great core of sweet fruit, good acidity, and just a balanced, delicious, lengthy profile. It carries plenty of intensity yet is classy and elegant. Drink this beauty any time over the coming decade.
