Tasting Profile
| Look: | Deep, deep scarlet at its heart, with flecks of inky magenta swirling with pretty pink ruby. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Luscious aromas of deep mulberry and dark blackberry, perfectly ripened, mingle with brown baking spices, summer briar patch, sandalwood, cocoa dust, and slight mocha. |
| Taste: | Today’s wine is full of lush and elegant dark berry notes, wonderfully juicy and bursting with flavor across the palate. These are joined by hints of a cedar wood cigar box, berry bramble, clove, anise, black peppercorn, lightly roasted espresso bean, and just a touch of milk chocolate. |
| Finish: | An incredibly satisfying and generous wine, with voluptuous flavors and a touch of tannin complexity. The flavors truly envelope the the mouth beautifully. |
| Pairing: | Grilled flank steak, prepared in a coffee, soy, and Worcestershire sauce marinade. |
