Winemaker's Comments: A sleek, elegant and intense wine, packed with forward black cherry, ripe plum flavors and lingering earth and cedar undertones. This fine wine has the potential of 10-15 years of further development in a good cellar.Food Affinities: Grilled or roasted meats - marinated steak with saffron rice, roast beef or hearty stews, lamb, duck, and game. An excellent accompaniment to heartier pasta and rice dishes.Alcohol: 13.9% by volume
