Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Merlot based wine from Sette Ponti opens with a cedar box and cherry bouquet with hints of licorice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, round, seamless, and fresh. The flavor profile is a cedar and mild tart cherry blend with notes of red licorice and spiced red plum. I also detected hints of craisin and mild tobacco. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and mild dusty tannins linger and last for a while. This wine benefits from a little aeration. I would pair this red blend with Italian beef braciole. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Ruby red with violet hues. Intense and broad aromatic baggage, where notes of succulent red fruits emerge and give way to spicy characters of licorice and roasted coffee. Powerful and structured, with velvety tannins in balance with a vibrant, crisp character. Finish of remarkable length and savoriness.
Food Pairing: Fine meats, game noble, or braised red meats.
