Winemaker Notes Young, deep ruby color. Intense, rich and fruity nose, full of pure blackberry, cassis, cherry and plum aromas intertwined with hints of spice. In the mouth it is full-bodied and round, with a soft and velvety texture, balanced by firm tannins that fill the mouth. The juicy black fruit flavors continue on the delicious, rich finish. This wine pairs well with strong-flavored hard cheeses–a good farmhouse cheddar or an aged gouda would be perfect. It is delicious with desserts made with dark chocolate or berries.
