Palate
This is a warm, juicy, fruit-forward wine with loads of upfront blueberry, ripe plum and black cherry laced with notes of cedar, spicy brown cardamom and vanilla. Aged primarily in large oak ovals, the wood influence stays in the background, but there is a pleasurable, mouth filling roundness to the palate that belies its time in the barrel. This is a delicious wine with relatively light tannins, a bright mid-palate and a long-lasting finish.
Aging
16 months in a combination of large oak ovals and small oak barrels
Food Pairing
It can easily be paired with vegetarian quiche or risotto as well as grilled meats and roasted or barbecued chicken.
