Winemaker Notes
Dark red almost black in color. Classic ripe aromas fill the glass with hints of cassis, prunes, fine notes of tar, vanilla, iodine and toasted oak. The mouth-feel is rich with great layers of ripe tannin, wonderful soft fruit and fine acidity, making it a perfect balanced and especially well-suited wine to go with food. The finish is rich and long with ripe dried fruit and dark chocolate. This blend is a great statement for this region and will unfold for many years to come.
Food Pairing Notes
We suggest decanting this wine for at least one hour before serving. Pair it with rich red meats—especially lamb—and game, wild mushroom risotto or aged and “stinky” cheeses.
