Salentein Numina Gran Corte 2016

Deep ruby. Scents of cassis, black cherries, spices and mint. An intense and robust wine with elegant flavors of raspberries, blueberries, sweet spices and a long, lingering finish of vanilla. An ideal match for hard cheeses, hearty stews, pasta dishes, casseroles and grilled red meats.

Salentein’s Gran Corte combines the five Bordeaux varieties, with Malbec representing 65% of the cuvée. Showing the freshness and elegance that are typical of the best 2016s, this is violet-scented, complex and nuanced, with plum and black cherry fruit and fine tannins.
