Tasting Notes

This bright ruby wine delights the nose with the mouth-watering aromas of sweet red cherry, juicy red currant and roasted red plum fruits, supported by cinnamon spice, creamy vanilla and fragrant briar. The wine enters the palate smoothly with luscious berry pie, crushed raspberry and juicy cassis flavors laced with delicate touches of nutmeg, fine cocoa and clove. These flavors last through the long and rich finish, supported by the familiar “Rutherford dust” quality through to the end.

Food Pairing

Delightfully juicy and bright, this wine will provide a beautiful accompaniment to number of offerings. Alongside a dish with a medley of flavors, like a roast rack of Kurobuta pork with green olive fritters and roasted eggplant, this wine will present a rich harmony to the palate. For a delectable cheese course, try this bottling with Ossau Iraty, a French sheep’s milk cheese with a creamy texture.
