The wine has a colour defined by deep, concentrated, crimson hues. Ripe cherries, violets and meaty notes characterize the nose, complemented by cool climate white pepper tones. The palate is full of bright and juicy berry fruit; the oaking displays itself as a subtle vanilla infusion, with wisps of mocha. The wine has a subtle but firm tannin structure which encases a succulent core, delicious berry fruit and tannin endures all the way to the finish.
Drink with substantial meat roasts or casseroles.
