Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This dark ruby red wine is brimming with fruity, spicy aromas of dried cranberries, maraschino cherries, and anise. On the palate, the youthful tannins and medium body reveal more cranberry, hints of plum, and cracked peppercorns with a very long finish.
Winemaker Notes
The fruit was destemmed into two 1-ton fermenters for a 3-day cold soak. Once fermentation began, the must was punched down and pumped over twice daily and pressed at dryness. After settling, the wine was racked to 20% new French oak barrels and aged for 14 months.
Food Pairing Notes
The bold fruit flavors and structure of this wine compliments rich, meaty dishes. Serve with prime rib, Gorgonzola, roasted chicken, duck, lamb, or filet mignon.
