Wine Description

Deep ruby red, aromas of cherries and red berries on the nose, complemented by delicate notes of nougat, chocolate, and subtle spice. Juicy and smooth on the palate with soft tannins and an easy-drinking finish. Best enjoyed slightly chilled.

Food Pairing

A versatile food companion for grilled meats, juicy steaks, and hearty braised dishes, which also pairs beautifully with mature cheeses and dark chocolate.
