Sommelier's Note
Offers rich aromas of fresh cherries, brambly raspberry, and sweet tobacco leaf interwoven with hints of cracked black pepper and tea leaves. On the palate, structured tannins and bright acidity support a layered, lingering finish.
Pairs Well With
Slow-braised beef short ribs with dark chocolate red wine jus and creamy polenta.
