J DUSI 'THE DON' RED BLEND 2016

Opened this with dinner guests last night and everyone commented on how the aged balsamic and spice notes made it perfect with the braised short ribs. The dark berry finish lingered just long enough to make you want another sip.

The Sangiovese gives this blend a brightness that balances the dark berry richness perfectly, and it paired amazingly with my Sunday pasta. Opened up beautifully after about 30 minutes in the decanter, too.

That aged balsamic note really comes through on the finish, and the ripe dark berries on the nose are just gorgeous. Opened it for a quiet dinner and it's already earned a permanent spot in my rotation.
