Description
The wine exhibits an intense, vibrant red color with a brighter red rim. The nose opens with cigar box aromas and intense red fruit, followed by notes of violets, minty chocolate, and a distinctive chalkiness. On the palate, dark fruit flavors are complemented by floral notes from Cabernet Franc and brightness from Malbec. The wine is complex, with polished, integrated, firm tannins and a substantial mouthfeel.
Food Pairing
This wine complements rich red meat dishes such as ribeye, beef roasts, and smoky barbecue fillet steaks.
