Tasting Notes.
This wine is a concentrated brilliant red with elegant and complex aromas. Currants, blackberries and hints of rosemary and flowers follow through to a full body with decadent fruit, rich meat and leather. Long and flavorful.  Full-bodied with velvety tannins, can be enjoyed immediately after opening.

Aging:  This wine is aged for 12 months in 2 and 3 year old French oak barrels followed by 6 months in bottles.

Food Pairing : Seafood stew such as a cioppino,  braised beef and veal.
