Aromas of dried cherry, cranberry, plum, caramel and mocha fill the senses followed by vibrant flavors of cherry pie filling and cola. A velvety texture and bright acidity distinguish this naturally-balanced wine.
This wine pairs perfectly with salmon, fowl and meat entrees like beef bourguignon or rack of lamb.
Tasting Notes
91 James Suckling
Ripe strawberries, red cherries, roses and fresh herbs on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with good minerality. Soft tannins. Good purity of fruit here with background notes of rosemary and cocoa powder. A hint of vanilla pokes through at the finish. Drink or hold.
91 Wine Enthusiast
This well-balanced, well-structured and handsomely complex wine emphasizes ripe plum and red-cherry flavors and accents them with subtle cinnamon, cedar and mint notes. Light tannins and a medium to full body lend a mouthfilling texture while lively acidity adds a fresh lift.
