Ladera Dry Red Wine 2010

The wine has a deep purple (almost ink) color with a bright red rim. On the nose is fresh plum, red berries and cinnamon with a hint of caramel. Support by means of subtle oak gives the wine balance and drinkability at an early age.

Will pair well with duck and lighter red meat dishes.
