Why We Love This Wine
Dark garnet in color, the nose evokes aromas of dark fruit & spearmint with added nuances of savory characters. On the palate, flavors of blackberry & dark cherry afre revealed with added undertones of white pepper spice & thyme complemented by smooth & ripe tannins as well as a balanced acidity. Best paired with food, enjoy this wine with Spanish Pork Tapas, Jamon Aioli, & Manchego Dumplings.
