Tasting Profile
| Look: | Rich, dark scarlet, transitioning into a slightly lighter red ruby edge. Absolutely beautiful, with tall legs trailing down the glass. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | This bold, fruit-forward wine is a wonderful blend of bright red fruit and strong herbal notes, with fresh strawberry, raspberry, and cherry beautifully playing off thyme, sage, and white pepper. |
| Taste: | Leading with strong fruit notes of dried raspberry and candied cherry, this wine balances nicely with flavors of dark chocolate, espresso bean, sweet vanilla bean, and a slight hint of eucalyptus. |
| Finish: | Young and fresh, with just the right amount of acidity, the red fruit notes gradually give way to a subtle, pleasant tartness on the palate. |
| Pairing: | We recommend having this food-friendly wine with a pan roasted lamb chop, served with herb crusted root vegetables. |
