Intense aromas of violet, blackberry, cherry and ripe plum with intriguing notes of cinnamon and clove. Classic elegance and structure in which the fruit, tannins and spices form a tightly woven balance, with a lingering finish of chocolate and coffee. Pairs exquisitely with traditional Italian dishes such as pasta Bolognese, wild boar ragu and eggplant Parmesan. It's also wonderful with classic American dishes such as grilled ribeye and roasted vegetables.
