Gracious fruit and refined structure come together. Effusive spices are first to greet the nose, closely followed by dark brambly berries. The palate parallels the aromas with an elegant yet lively offering of heady ripe fruit and dusty, peppery spices. A chalky minerality runs across the back of the palate, joined by structured tannins and a long, fruit-focused finish. Pair this big, full-bodied wine with rich sauces and hearty flavors.
