With a deep magenta hue, fruit forward aromas leap from the glass with blackberry cobbler, ripe red cherries, milk chocolate, smooth leather and a touch of white pepper. Similar in fashion, the palate boasts flavors of raspberry jam and ripe red plums surrounded by a juicy acidity. The finish is round and lasting, driven by a complex oak spice. Enjoy this juicy red wine with a variety of hard and richly flavored cheeses, barbecued short ribs with a spicy rub or a hearty spinach and ricotta cannelloni.
