La Cave VCC 2008

A shimmering bright yellow-gold. A powerful nose of ripe fruit, orange rind, dried apricot and vanilla. The palate is concentrated with impressive structure and layers of fruit and nuts building to a persistent finish.

Enjoy with creamy seafood or poultry dishes, particularly those with a light spiciness in the sauce.
