Tasting- Isiri Dolcetto d'Alba

This Isiri Dolcetto d'Alba is a 2009, Isiri variety from the Dolcetto d'Alba region of Piedmont Country, Italy priced at $18 down to $7.95. The Vintage Cellar said, "Cherry and plum aromas fill the nose with jammy overtones. It is firm with almond flavors on the finish. Dolcetto is the everyday wine of the Piemontese, it pairs well with a wide variety of dishes from tomato-based pasta dishes and white meats, to minestrone and antipasto platters". I thought this wine had a strange after taste, with a pretty dark purple color, and it tasted of dark berries and cherries.
