Medium ruby color leads you to pronounced aromas of blackberries and black cap raspberries with underlaying notes of cedar, dark chocolate, and wet earth. A lush but firm mouthfeel with bright acidity, followed by flavors of dried black raspberries, marionberries with hints of cocoa dust, black pepper, and leather.
This wine pairs will with many foods due to medium body and balanced acidity. Try it will beef bourguignon or New York strip steak. For a non-meat dish try roast acorn squash filled with wild rice. Or try it with 60% dark chocolate for dessert.
