This wine is deep ruby-red in color and charges out of the glass with intense aromas of dark cherries, ripe black plums, hints of violets and vanilla, and touches of dried tobacco leaves. Medium-bodied, the wine expresses a focused texture, impressive mid-palate density, and an elegant finish. Aged for 6 months in French oak, its medium to high acidity makes it a great companion for red sauce dishes, pizza, pastas, mushroom dishes, and medium-strength blue cheese.
