Winemaker’s Tasting Notes

Rich notes of ripe black cherry, currant and boysenberry mingle gracefully

with delicate notes of cedar. On the palate, a harmonious balance unfolds,

showcasing flavors of blueberries, cranberry and clove, all embraced by the

smooth tannins imparted by the French oak barrels. Evolving gracefully in

the glass, the dark fruit flavors and subtle acidity leave a lasting impression

on the palate. Enjoy now after decanting 60 minutes or cellar through 2040.

Chef’s Pairing Suggestions

The dark fruit flavors, silky palate and beautiful structure make it a decadent

wine for food pairing. This wine’s elegance, acidity and spice notes complement

grilled or roasted dishes, such as beef bourguignon, duck confit or roasted

chicken. The earthiness in this wine will also complement vegetarian dishes,

such as roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto and ratatouille.
