Hints of red berries, wild sage and black currant are intertwined with subtle vanilla notes from bourbon barrels. Flavors are balanced and rich with layers of pleasantly assertive tannins overlaid with enticing oak. The finish is rich and complex which enables additional aging. While enjoyable currently, this intense red wine will continue to improve with proper cellaring for another 3-5 years in the bottle. This rich, layered wine will enhance lamb loin or rosemary-infused rack of lamb plus hard cheeses as well as many Italian dishes.
