This medium-bodied red wine opens with an expressive jammy nose, layered with enticing aromas of ripe cherry, sweet tobacco, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is well-structured and harmoniously balanced, revealing nuanced flavors of tart cherry, black currant, and sweet tobacco, all elegantly framed by subtle vanilla undertones. The texture is smooth and refined, leading to a silky, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression. Serve cellar temperature.
Pairs well with pork schnitzel, hamburgers, seared steak, wild game, lamb, Italian cuisine, tomato-based pastas, and dark chocolate, or anything you would pair a good dry red with.
