Tasting notes:
Concentrated aromatics offer inviting ripe plum and black
raspberry along with oak-laced spices. The smooth mouthfeel seamlessly glides across
the palate, revealing intense, rich fruit and warm brown spices. A juicy blend
of berries lifts the wine mid-palate, and is joined by a mix of black fruit,
slightly toasty oak and creamy mocha. An integrating oak and tannic framework
balances and enhances the opulent texture as the flavors linger so strongly you
wonder if the wine is still there.
This robust, sumptuous wine deserves to be paired with a
perfectly grilled rib eye steak with a side of onion rings, or rosemary braised
lamb shanks.
