Nose

Alluring aromas of sliced Italian plum, ripe cherry, and fresh Malabar black pepper.

Palate

Flavors of Marrion berry tart, black currant, and vanilla bean. Additional time in the decanter brings out notes of root beer spice. The balance and structure linger into the finish along with flavors of cassis, cardamom, and dark chocolate.

Food Pairing

Smooth tannins and ample acidity make this an ideal pairing for lamb ravioli in a porcini mushroom sauce or duck breast confit drizzled in Garam Masala.
