TASTING NOTE: A lovely nose of red, black and purple fruits are accented by an earthy charm. On the palate it's pure velvet, with an almost astonishing purity of fruit. Despite the rather heavy stature of the wine - the tannins are very much present - I can't help but appreciate how easy this is to drink. Pair with anything from the BBQ or a juicy steak!
