A great sweet red grape variety, magenta in color with soft tannins and excellent structure.

Fresh wild berries, plum and black cherry flavors are fleshy and juicy, with notes of chocolate, violets and subtle spices. Rich and round yet fruity and very approachable with a lingering finish.

You will love this wine with duck, barbecue, burgers and firm aged cheeses.
