Tasting Profile
| Look: | Nearly opaque crimson in the center of the glass, with only a hint of a lighter ruby ring around the edge. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Deep aromas of black fruit, highlighted by blackberry and sweet plum, layered overtop hints of mushroomy earth, sandalwood, violet, and black peppercorn. |
| Taste: | Lush and robust on the palate, with concentrated stewed dark fruit flavors of black cherry, boysenberry, and black currant mingling with sweet tobacco leaf, espresso bean, dark chocolate, sage, and pomegranate black tea. |
| Finish: | Smooth and supple on the finish, with very well integrated, velvety tannins and lingering flavors of dark fruit. |
| Pairing: | A perfectly grilled New York Strip, served with a sage and balsamic reduction drizzled overtop. |
