This wine begins with pretty aromas of violets and cherries. These lead you into a sumptuous palate exhibiting dark cherry, ripe plum, and a hint of sandalwood. Pleasing tannins reveal themselves in this wine's satisfying finish along with light yet sensual notes of vanilla bean. Pairing idea: rare tuna served with a reduction of veal stock, hoisin, and orange.
