TASTING NOTES:
Baking Spice
Forest Floor
Plum
Savory scents of mushroom and damp soil add to a complex bouquet of aromas. The palate reveals flavors of cooked black plum and baking spice wrapped in velvety tannins and just the right amount of sweetness. This wine pairs perfectly with smoky barbecue, served alongside pork sausage or short ribs.
