An array of aromas introduces this eclectic blend, with toasty oak, smoked meats and a red clay soil earthiness sharing space with ripe berries, dark skinned fruit and white pepper. The opulently smooth texture releases tightly woven bright flavors that linger on as you sip again and again. Beneath the loveliness is the perfect balance of integrated fine-grained vanillin oak and dark fruit—cherry, plum and mixed berries—wrapped in supple tannins. Traces of cocoa and eucalyptus appear, adding interest and even more depth. This elegant, refined wine deserves to be paired with a platter of equally delicious cheeses, Beef Wellington or Steak au Poivre.
