Dark cherry red and full bodied, it shows a purity of fruit and hints of minerality. It is well textured, with a signature brambly component exemplifying its mountain character. The aromas are reminiscent of spring lilacs and fruit compote with hints of sandalwood and subtle vanilla notes.
With a warm, lingering, luxuriant finish this offering is best paired with roasted rack of lamb or poultry, smoked meats, ripe soft cheeses and szechuwan style beef.
