Winemaker's Notes:
The 2009 vintage is medium-bodied and balanced with an enticing nose of black cherry, blackberry and nuances of vanilla spice. On the palate, rich dark fruits of plum, black currant, cassis and cherry combine wine well-integrated tannins followed by a pleasant, lingering finish.
This rich, fruit-forward wine calls for succulent, flavorful dishes such as grilled steak with frites, creamy blue cheeses, pepper-rubbed pork chops, duck breast with grilled plums - or even a juicy burger with caramelized onions. |
