Winemaker Angelo Pavan makes very good, light but even-tempered reds. The 2006 vintage is already showing some evolution, but the raspberry-currant is still fine amid green herbs, pepper and smoky notes. Light to medium bodied and smooth, with very fine tannin. Try it with roast chicken or turkey. Not a long keeper but fine to 2010. LCBO 407270
