WINE OVERVIEW
TASTING NOTES
Deep reddish purple with aromas of bright berry/cherry fruit. Big body yet very balanced with luscious layers of raspberry, cherry, and cocoa flavors. Just a hint of baking spice at the end brings it all together.
EAT WITH
A great companion to grilled or smoked meats. Pairs well with beef and pork, and even pizza with meat toppings.
