winemaker's notes:
As you savor this elegant blend, scores of different flavor notes emerge from the harmonious whole, like interweaving musical lines. In the nose, you’ll notice black cherries, red plums, and spicy notes of truffle, tea, and spice.
Taste and more flavors emerge: raspberry, red currant, orange peel, a bit of cocoa powder and ginger. Fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity contribute to the rich mouth feel and carry through the perfumed cherry-vanilla finish.
Pair with a holiday roast, an aged sirloin topped with butter and pan juices, or a tagine of slow-roasted vegetables—butternut squash, beets, yams, red onions—spiced with cumin and cardamom.
