STYLE

This medium-bodied red wine teems with ripe blackberries, blackcurrent, plum and fruitcake, with hints of toffee, vanilla, licorice and mulled spice followed by delicate white pepper nuances on the nose and palate. Soft tannins and well-integrated oak make this a plush red wine.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
