tasting notes

Aromas of boysenberry, plum and cassis entice the nose, easing into mandarin and molasses with a hint of cacao. This medium-bodied wine has balanced acidity and soft tannins, displaying soft ripe fruits dominated by cherry coulis. From a simple capellini to a roasted pork loin, the soft elegance of this wine allows for a variety of food pairings.
