Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
Bright plum red colour; white pepper and fresh, ripe bramble fruit on the nose, followed by smoke and cedar on the palate. Soft, easy tannin with bright acidity, and medium weight. The finish is crisp and fresh. Enjoy now for maximum fruitiness, but don't underestimate this red - it will maintain its finesse for three to four years in the bottle. This easygoing, enjoyable grape goes very well with food. Choose for those who want to drink red "regardless," as the supple tannins work well with foods traditionally matched with white wine such as turkey, chicken or fish. Available only through the Winery and at fine restaurants.
