The wines elegance commences with enticing aromatics and carries through to the long, graceful finish. The nose offers perfectly ripened red raspberry and blackberry layered with smoked pepper and hints of white lilacs. Light and lively on the entry, the palate quickly exposes delicious dark toned flavors, beautifully balanced with an understated background of oak and tannin. Black plum and baked cherry merge with acai berry as traces of dusty mocha and Italian herbs appear. The wine finishes with the addition of cinnamon laced caramel as the flavors linger.
Enjoy with pairing of pork tenderloin and plum cherry and a side of Tuscan butter mushrooms, or cheese stuffed eggplant rollups.
