Rich, full, and well-structured, with aromas of blackberry, cassis, pepper, licorice and violets. The palate offers a remarkable level of balance, with opulent ripeness combined with the indelible finesse of cool-climate Syrah. Very long on the finish.
 
 
 
Excellent with wide range of game and red meats (beef, lamb, duck) as well as stews, strong cheeses, and winter and root vegetable dishes.
