Notes of violet, gardenia and tilled earth are at the fore of the savory nose. Peppery spice and a hint of baking spice bring up the rear, with juicy red berries filling out the core of the nose. This is tense on the palate, showing lots of dark cocoa-dipped cherry flavors alongside bracing acidity and a firm grip of tannins.
Perfect with pasta, pizza, grilled meats, and semi-hard cheeses like Cheddar or Gouda.
