These aromas unfold slowly, revealing the wine’s depth.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured. Flavors of ripe dark fruit blend with earthy undertones. Smooth tannins balance the acidity perfectly for long finish. This wine pairs well with red meats and game. It also complements strong cheeses and hearty dishes. Ideal tasting occasions include celebratory dinners and special gatherings. Serve it slightly below room temperature for best enjoyment.
