Palate

Notes of blueberry cobbler, stewed cherries, and dark chocolate pummel the front of the palate while playful yet grippy tannins leave your mouth with notes of vanilla, clove, and white pepper.

Aging

18 months in 45% new, 42% once-used and 13% once used barrels

Appearance

No lack of color here! This ruby-hued purple monster is somewhat restrained in what was a cooler vintage.

Food Pairing

Loads of red fruit make this the perfect pairing to duck breasts with a cherry balsamic glaze or an herb-crusted pork tenderloin.
