This Bordeaux-style blend has a dark garnet hue with cedar box aromas filled with ripe black cherries, raspberries, leather, with subtle hints of iron and fresh sage. Touting tremendous texture and a supple body with rustic and well-integrated tannins support a palate of ripe black cherry and raspberry, tobacco leaf with hints of dried herbs and black pepper. This wine will only improve over the next several years. Cellar up to 15 years.
Pair with a grilled T-bone with grilled summer vegetables, braised short ribs or stuffed mushrooms.
