The 2012 vintage features remarkably bright, juicy fruit core elements, making it a perfect introduction to the house style.The wine has a complex bouquet of red cherries, dried berries, licorice, blood orange, saddle leather, and cedar. On The Palette it is Medium-to-full body with a silky yet assertive texture. It delivers a balance of vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and deep savory notes of tobacco, ash, and plum marmalade. Pairs well with hearty, savory dishes as well as roasted lamb, veal, grilled red meats, and aged Manchego cheese.
