Cantine del Notaio - La Firma Aglianico del Vulture 2013 (750ml) Petaluma GapAromas of cinnamon, anise and rooibos meld with the wild cherry and raspberry core in this red. The medium bodied palate is soft in flavors of baked raspberry and cherry, accented by gentle warm spices. There's good balance to it all, with polished tannins and fresh acidity lending support, but it should be enjoyed in the near term

the savory-inspired palate possesses a fair bit of chew with a lively backbone and firm finish

There is once again excellent energy to the strikingly well-detailed flavors that are almost as mineral-laden

Filling-in stainless steel or concrete vats with temperature control

but with great juice running through with cassis fruits and a wonderful lift at the end

lengthy finish lingers with light caramel
