My review: I really like this wine and drink it pretty regularly, especially when I'm home with my parents. I tasted dark fruits, like cherry and plum on the front. The aftertaste was more spicy and particularly strong on black pepper. It's bold and a good mouthful of wine, but not overwhelmingly acidic, dry, or tannic. 

Food Pairing: I drank this wine with pasta with garlic and tomato sauce and meatballs. I think it paired well with the food, especially the meatballs. It also brought out the spices in the sauce and provided a good balance to the meal.
