Concentrated aromas of cherry and strawberry, layered with accents of vanilla and a hint of graphite. On the palate, silky tannins carry the fruit and lead to a roasted coffee and black pepper finish.
This wine's fine grained tannins and lush earth tones show very well with comparable food flavors and minimal fat, such as dry cheeses and lean or cured meats. Earthy vegetables like squash, mushrooms, garlic, and onions pair exquisitely, as well as fall fruit, like figs and cranberries.
