Ruby colored in the glass, your olfactory system will spark to life with aromas of ripe dark fruits like plum, black cherry, blackberry as well as blueberry, violets and black peppercorns. The palate has more red fruits than dark fruits, but has just as great a depth of flavors. The alcohol, acidity and tannin are all in balance and lead to a delightfully long finish. Try it with slow braised or stewed meats.
