The bouquet bursts with intense dark fruits, cinnamon, clove and subtle oak aromas. The palate is dominated by flavors of black cherries and juicy blackberries, accented by delicate vanilla flavors and toasty oak and finishing long with round, soft tannins. The complex flavor of this wine complements just about any well-seasoned meat such as beef, pork, or lamb, followed by an indulgent dessert or espresso.
