satisfying style of Paso Robles Cab

it's full-bodied and delightfully supple but pulsates with freshness and transparency too

The color is light yellow

and leaves me craving a cold slab of terrine or gamey pate

Ronco del Gelso 'Sintesi dei Capitoli' Friuli Isonzo, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy 2016 Case (6x750ml) Domaine de Courbissac satisfying style of Paso RoblesThe Merlot Sintesi dei Capitoli from Ronco del Gelso is intense ruby red with light purple reflections. The nose is complex with aromas of ripe red fruit and berries, floral notes of dried flowers and spicy hints of pepper, liquorice and cinnamon. On the palate it is enveloping and robust, characterized by sweet tannins and an elegant spiciness, long in the finish with a light salty note.
