Take in tantalizing aromas of black cherry, violet and freshly-cracked peppercorn before plunging into flavors of black fruit compote and black currant, beautifully highlighted by hints of clove and earth. This medium-bodied wine is jammy and juicy with plush, velvety tannins.

Reward yourself and pair this wine with a roaring fire, rich cheeses, fliet mignon or hearty pasta with marinara.
