Nose
The nose opens with juicy black cherry and cranberry with an earthy spice.
Palate
On the palate are flavors of dark fruit with a bit of tartness and a silky mouthfeel. This wine has a nice structure, balanced tannins and a rounded, long finish.
Food Pairing
The delightful partnership of blackberry and spice on the palette complements game meats such as roast venison loin with blackberry sauce or duck breast with a black pepper and Bing cherry glaze. The touches of oak and spice combined with luminous acidity are a match for warm Porcini Triple Cream Brie with rosemary Focaccia.
