Light vanilla and smoke on the nose leads to a med-full bodied wine with mild citrus and buttery mouthfeel. A soft pleasant finish pairs well with our Parmesan shrimp risotto.

Ruby red in color with brown colors around the perimeter of the glass. Aromas of cinnamon and leather with flavors of plum, blackberry and cassis. Relatively high in alcohol concentration but very smooth finish. Needed to decant for 45mins before consumption, then the true taste shined through.
