Tasting Notes:

A dense garnet colored wine with an expressive bouquet of red berries, spice and vanilla in the nose. The palate is generous, full-bodied and silky with well-integrated tannins. The evolving fruit flavors layered with vanilla and spice lead to a licorice finish. Can be cellared easily 6 to 7 years. Serve with fine meats cooked on the grill, game, duck, lamb and fine cheeses.
