Tasting Profile
| Look: | A hearty, deep ruby red in the center of the glass, with flecks of darker magenta throughout. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Very pleasant, fruit forward aromas on today’s wine. Deep black cherry, plum, and currant leads the way, with touches of summer bramble, tobacco leaf, and black peppercorn as well. |
| Taste: | Deliciously fruit-driven across the palate, with robust, juicy black cherry and Santa Rosa plum laid overtop dried rose petals, mushroomy earth, toasty cherry wood, candied red cherry, peppercorn, and a slight touch of fresh rosemary. |
| Finish: | Very soft on entry, with bright acidity and just a touch of fine, velvety tannin structure. |
| Pairing: | Grilled pork tenderloin, served with a sour cherry balsamic glaze. |
