The 2015 Calliope Figure 8 Red is a fresh, fruit driven blend with intense aromas of damson plum, blueberry, black cherry, cassis and raspberry with complexity added by notes of vanilla, dark chocolate and a hint of dried sage. The palate is medium bodied, juicy and fresh with plum, red cherry and red currant fruit and a little clove and pepper spice on the finish. Try this with a thin crust Margherita pizza or homemade lasagna.
