Vibrant expressions of new leather, cherry pit and blueberries greet the palate with this wine, followed by a touch of clove spice at the end. The well-integrated aromas carry into a mouthfeel that amplifies the same flavors seamlessly. This wine’s core strength lies in its exceptional mid-palate, which carries the tannins gracefully to a lingering finish. Its acid is bright and structure firm, giving this vintage the desired taut character; it will age gracefully. Pairs exceptionally well with earthy, rich flavors such as porcini mushrooms in cream or beef wellington.
