Earthy undertones and great textured tannins that continue to smooth out with time - adding to the body and longevity. FOOD PAIRINGS Cheese Plate – Camembert, gruyere, or swiss. Plus, marcona almonds. Main courses – Salmon, turkey, pork, ham, roasted goose Sides – Maple and Bacon Brussel Sprout

Wine Spectator 90

 "This is a bold, fuller-bodied wine with elevated acidity that equals the impact of sturdy tannins. A ripe, sweet marionberry aroma is joined by traces of hoisin sauce, forest floor and wet slate. A simple, but delicious, blackberry jam on a warm scone flavor coats the palate."
