Nose
Pronounced ripe, red fruit aromas leap from the glass followed by dried sage, cassis and sweet, ripe strawberry.
Palate
The sturdy structured tannin and acid that are found in this wine in every vintage, deftly frame mouthwatering flavors of candied cherry and ripe bramble fruit.
Aging
22 months in French Oak, 70% new
Appearance
opaque, rich ruby red and leaves slow, stained tears across the glass
Food Pairing
Savor the long finish now with a juicy steak or roasted chicken, or cellar for five to seven years.
