Description
Intensely perfumed with dark berry fruit, liquorice, violets and underlying tobacco, spice and graphite. It is full-bodied with ripe succulent tannins and great length. The wine is complemented by a small percentage of Carignan, which freshens the wine, improving drinkability while creating a point of difference.
Food Pairing
Grilled steaks and chops, Portobello mushrooms, green olives, pepper, rosemary, and mint.
