Aged thirteen months in American oak imparts subtle accents of vanilla and baking spices, while maintaining fruit vibrancy. This richly hued garnet beauty opens with notes of creme brûlée, bing cherries, sassafras, and hints of pipe tobacco. A soft, smooth entry gives way to a plush, velvety middle and full mouth feel. This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of foods like Margherita pizza, aged white cheddar and duck breast with raspberry sauce.
