A variety you might not expect from this region, and a very pleasant surprise. A bright mix of red and black fruit, mild pepper and baker’s chocolate show in both aroma and flavor profiles, and a supple structure extends the finish. Great on its own, or give it a go with grilled red meats. A fine New World expression! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
