Bright crimson color. Aromas of big, ripe black cherry with hints of mushroom and beef Bovril peeking out behind rich fruit. Fleshy black plum on the palate, with layers of cherry and sweet berries that play on the palate and dance with hints of violet and savory notes. Dry tannins and hints of cigar make this a versatile wine to pair with turkey, salmon, lamb and beef.
