Tasting Notes/Food Pairing:
Intense purple color with shades of violet. Heady aromas of kirsch, cocoa, mint and exotic woods make you want to keep inhaling deeply. Red & black cherry flavors coat the palate, and the oak tannins frame the intense fruit flavors. Best with meats such as pork (grilled or roasted loin), grilled hamburgers or steaks, and lamb prepared any way you like. Good with goat, too.

Press:
89 Points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, 2010
"Deep ruby-red. Slightly candied berries, licorice and mint, lifted by a floral note. Very ripe, even a bit roasted, yet not overly sweet, with good density to the flavors of currant, chocolate, tobacco and herbs. Finishes with sweet tannins and broad flavors of black licorice and spice."
