Brilliant ruby color with violet edges. Strawberries, raspberries and ripe fruit with a touch of pepper and spice aromas. In mouth, flavors of red fruit, spice and hints of vanilla from aging in French oak. Round, soft tannins lead to a delicate, lingering finish. Food Pairing: Mozzarella pie, potato omelet, meat baked with roasted vegetables, dried pasta with ragu, potato and meat pie, pizza, and dark chocolate.
