WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

This approachable Bordeaux-style blend offers aromas of raspberry and plum set against undertones of warm, woody spice and mocha. On the palate, this dry, medium-bodied wine is well-balanced, with flavors of black cherry and cassis complemented by delicate notes of black tea and allspice.Enjoy this wine with hearty meals, such as braised meats like venison, lamb, and beef, or rich pastas and stews. Suggested dishes include beef wellington, pot roast, and rack of lamb.
