Tasting Notes: Pale garnet in color, this wine offers delicately layered aromas of dried red cherries, plums, cola, and sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is perfectly structured with integrated, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity, which along with its rich flavors, evolve into a sumptuously long finish.
Pairing: Ideal with robustly flavored cheese or braised beef dishes.
