The wine is a dark garnet color. In the nose, aromas of tart cherry and raspberry meld with cedar and a touch of vanilla oak spice. In the mouth, the wine is smooth and medium-full bodied, with dried cherry, strawberry jam, and oak-spice flavors. The finish is of medium length. The solid structure of this wine will allow it to be enjoyed for the next three to five years after release. This versatile wine will complement a wide variety of foods from grilled salmon to herbed chicken dishes to roast lamb. Its earthy qualities are great with grilled Portabella mushrooms and eggplant, and other plant-based cuisine as well. |
