A muscular wine that begs for something rich and meaty at the table. Zingy acidity and a firm tannic structure prop up rich black and red fruit flavors, with peppery spice riding alongside through a long finish. Not a solo sipper due to its sheer size, but a beauty when paired properly. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
