The wine is lively, fresh, and balanced with soft, supple tannins giving it an elegance and complexity that can only be achieved by blending across multiple vintages. The aroma begins with lovely red cherry and dried cranberries. Notes of violet and nutmeg interplay with hints of vanilla bean. The palate offers more cranberry, wild berries, and plum with subtle hints of cherry cola, licorice, and barrel spice. The wine develops on the palate with lively acidity that offers balance to graceful layers of red and black fruit. Transform an otherwise ordinary weeknight by pairing it with your favorite grilled red meats, tender roasts, or robust cheeses.
