Tasting Note

Deep ruby red with purple hues. It is an elegant and luscious blend with expressive aromas and flavors of plum, red cherries, and spices. Bold and rich with a great lingering. 

 

Pairing

Ideal with red meats, pasta dishes with seasoned sauces, and cured, hard and semi-hard cheeses.

Ready to drink but will develop favourably in bottle for up to 6 years.
