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.
