The signature grape of Montefalco finds a suitable home in Dry Creek Valley as evidenced by this tasty bottle. The tannic profile announces its presence with expected authority, propping up black cherry and blackberry and bold oak spice. The finish is quite long and shows the age-worthy potential within. Very nicely done! A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
