Tasting Notes
Intense bright ruby red. Aromas of currant, cassis, jam, dried herbs, and coffee. The spice comes out on the palate with notes of cherry, currant, and a touch of vanilla. It is juicy and finishes with smooth tannins.
Food Pairing
A good match for grilled red meats such as a flank steak, barbequed beef, and creamy cheeses.
