Very dark purple-red. Aromas of cordial cherries, orange peel, cranberry, and tuberose. Ripe raspberry with a savory Earl Grey tea and carob notes. Tannins are firm but full and supple.
Aromas of fresh cream and a suggestion of white truffle. Intense Meyer lemon and kumquat fruit on the brisk palate. Balancing richness with tones of vanilla and cardamom. Intense natural acidity allows this wine to provide a counterpoint to richly sauced dishes that employ subtle spices.
