This wine is a deep ruby-red color with a bright red rim. It has a medium-full body with medium-high tannins and medium-high acidity. The wine has savory notes of cherry, fig, tobacco, and dill. It has a ferrous minerality and juicy strawberry flavors. The wine is mouth-filling yet fresh and has the structure for improving in the bottle for a number of years. It pairs nicely with steak, gourmet burgers, rack of lamb, baked pasta, and other tomato-based dishes.
