Appearance: Bright with an intense ruby-red color. Aroma: The nose reveals a ripe plum and raspberry aroma accompanied by complex notes of cedar from oak ageing. Flavor: Fills the palate with round tannins and soft texture. Flavorful and juicy, with notes of black cherry and plum at the forefront. There are notes of soft, sweet vanilla that persist in the long finish. Pairings: Pairs well with red meat, either grilled, roasted or sautéed. Try steak, pepper and onion fajitas, or on the lighter side a cheese plate with manchego cheese as the headliner.
