Subtle aromas
of earth, oak and white pepper mingle with perfectly ripened blackberry,
creating a seductive nose. The lush, smooth entry quickly offers a delicious
blend of blackberry, plum and huckleberry with traces of black pepper,
sassafras and dark chocolate. A long lavish finish exposes just a hint of
orange zest, along with integrating oak and softening tannins as they circle back
to frame the wine.
This hearty wine deserves a pairing equal to its intense
nature. Try it with grilled buffalo rib eye steak with smoky onions and
Roquefort, or tagliatelle with wild boar ragout and freshly-grated Pecorino.
