The pale purple color of this wine seems to invite you to swirl and take a deep and thorough sniff. You are rewarded with a very complex set of aromas, featuring initially drift wood, sassafras, and dark cherry. With a little more air along come smells of violets, dusty plum, cherry and toasted walnut. Sipping this wine brings in flavors of currant, blackberry, juicy blueberry and black pepper. The wine finishes with tannins that assure you this is a wine for cellaring. To enjoy it now plan on decanting, and serve with hard cheeses and a bloody rare New York strip (your temp preference may vary).
