Aromas of raspberry, plum and rhubarb compote mingle with hints of tobacco leaf and earth. On the palate, cran-raspberry, boysenberry and pomegranate are underpinned by earth driven flavors of beets and black tea. Plush, richly textured with juicy yet balanced acidity and integrated toasty barrel spice.
Try Italian sausage with peppers and onions, mushroom risotto, or anything with gruyere. A simple grilled chicken or fish is sublime with this wine.
