Aromas of blackberry, violets and currants blend seamlessly with notes of anise and soft leather on the nose. The more you indulge the wine, the deeper and more intriguing the aromas become, yielding darker berries and herbal qualities. The entry and mid-palate display beautiful fruit flavors of sweet dark cherry and plum blended with darker spicy, pepper and toasted oak flavors. This wine is at once vibrant and refreshing while being deeply satisfying with a finish of cocoa, toasted vanilla and berries that lingers lovingly. Pair with hard cheeses, grilled lamb chops, or pizza with wild mushroom and caramelized onion.
