The Cellar Hot List

Deep ruby red with violet hues. The nose initially reveals aromas of black and red berries, such as cranberries, black plums and raspberries. The palate has balanced acidity and flavors of juicy black fruit, along with smooth, well-rounded tannins sustained by the notes of soft French oak. This wine pairs well duck, with oily fish, pasta, creamy soups, different lean meats and hard cheese.
