The wine has an intense ruby red colour. Ripe red fruit like sweet strawberries and raspberries combine with black cherries and plums on the nose, while the delicate use of new oak adds a hint of cacao. The bold, ripe fruit flavors follow on the palate, and the fine tannin structure ensures a long, elegant finish. Best served with marinated meats that are smoked or made on the barbecue as well as with tomato based dishes.
