Elegant, restrained style. Aromatic flavors of cherry, blackcurrant, fennel and spicy cedar marry together with hints of roasted coffee, violets and sweet vanillin oak. An accessible wine with the structure and concentration for future cellaring. Suggested food pairing: grilled or roasted meats - lamb, duck, beef and game. An excellent accompaniment to any roasted meat dish and mildly spicy or fusion dishes.
