Description
A red wine with very attractive aromas of black fruit and black pepper in harmony with its tea notes, balanced with slightly smoked touches from its aging in oak. It is compact and ripe in the mouth, with incipient tannins and a round texture. This wine fills the mouth with fruit, thus perfectly denoting its superb terroir expression. Great character and acidity, with a long, complex, and intense finish.
Pairings
Perfect to enjoy with a mushroom risotto or some baby back ribs with corn on the cob and wood roasted potatoes.
