Nose
With aromas of char, cigar box and violet, this medium-bodied wine has a great acid balance and leads to flavors of red cherry and blueberry.
Palate
The tannins are gripping, leading to a long, lingering finish of dried herbs and fruit leather.
Aging
21 months in 60% New French oak.
Food Pairing
This crisp, tannic wine will pair well with fatty steaks, pulled port and dry rub BBQ ribs.
