A deep, brooding purple wine with intense aromas of blackberry, crunchy yet ripe raspberry, baked plum, black cherry, blueberry and lots of pepper, paprika, thyme, clove and shortbread notes. The palate is bold, fruity and intense with a full body, crisp acidity, medium ripe tannins and lots of ripe summer berries, blackberry and sun-dried tomato with some complex pink peppercorn, cocoa, rosemary, pipe tobacco and dried black olive notes on the long finish. Pair this with braised short ribs or vegetables and lamb grilled over charcoal.
