From the heart of our land, all the passion in a great wine
Deep slightly violet pigeon blood ruby with lively ruby rim. The bouquet is fairly intense, and fresh, with forest berry fruit, a mixture of cherry and also quite a bit of black currant, that gains definition from hints of berry fruit acidity, slight floral accents, and underlying berry fruit jam. On the palate it’s ample and smooth, with fairly rich forest berry fruit supported by berry fruit acidity and fairly light tannins that do have a slight burr, and flow into a clean berry fruit finish. It will work quite well with grilled meats or light stews, and you may also want to drink it by the glass with friends.
