Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The first sense of aroma is that of wood of the barrel. Intense tannins are seen in the palate, but they blend harmoniously. Warm, mouth full with balanced acidity and persistent taste of red fruit and spices.

Pair with rich dishes, grilled or stewed, yellow spicy cheese and red meat.
