Nose
The nose of this small lot red is filled with notes of clove and cinnamon-infused dark berry fruit with soft undertones of toasted oak and vanilla. There are multiple layers of aromatics expressed this wine, making the nose very complex and continuously-evolving.
Palate
Notes of black cherry and spice persist on the palate on this complex, oak-aged red wine. The wine opens up elegantly into integrated layers of soft tannins, vanilla and clove-spiced plum on the finish. The wine is of medium weight and has a long and complex finish.
Pairings
An ideal food wine, pairing well with slow roasted meats, tomato-based pasta dishes and an array of barbecued dishes.
