A gorgeous ruby color in the glass is matched by intense aromatics and an elegant, stylish and smooth texture on the palate. This wine has "Chameleon" like complexity which can certainly become the topic of conversation. Aromas of sage, underbrush, herbs, violets, earth and frankincense combine amazingly with hints of light red cherry and pomegranate. The palate is layered with black cherry, boysenberry, light guava, sandalwood and spice. Balanced and perfectly structured with lively acidity and a lengthy layer of minerality that extends on the back palate. Although the wine will age gracefully, we suggest decanting (aerating) if opening when young. Pair with tuna tartare, sushi or shrimp & pork belly "Banh Mi" sandwich will create perfect seafood matches to this bottling. Hearty and complex, Co^lluvial will stand up perfectly to pancetta or lamb meatballs over couscous.
