Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A deep, concentrated ruby color provides a foretaste of its rich aromas, which open up with blackberries, blueberries, and dried wildflowers with layers of toast and cinnamon. On the palate, this complexity of sensations is anchored by dense tannins, which create a silky texture. A pleasing salinity and acidity give vibrancy to its taste profile, and the delightful persistence of the fruit beckons one to take another sip.
Food Pairing Notes
Red meats, rich poultry, and wild game are entrees of choice, either prepared simply or more elaborately with rich, herbaceous sauces. Mature cheeses are another avenue of exploration, as are spicy dishes full of peppery heat.
