Nose
White pepper and roasted meat aromatics scream from the glass and eventually give way to cherry and berry, but they do not go gently.
Palate
As you taste the wine it starts with an initial nudge to the palate, but the tannins and acids build quickly and show its intensity and verve.
Aging
25 months in 100% new French oak.
Appearance
As you look into the glass, the wine's dark color pulls you further in.
Food Pairing
It begs to be opened on a cold day next to bowl of beef stew.
