Product Description
This wine is medium garnet in color and shows dark and red, brambly fruits, verdant earth and cola on the nose. The palate bursts forth with red and black fruits – essences of blackberry, pomegranate, red and black cherries as an earthy background layers itself into your mouth.
The rich, soft and voluptuous mouthfeel leads to a long, lingering finish with elegantly integrated tannins.
Showing delightful fruity tones it has some flexibility with regards to pairing. I think this wine right now, is tasting like an excellent Thanksgiving wine!
