DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
This is a ruby-colored pour whose nose teems with red fruit. The freshness of ripe strawberries declares its presence at once, joined by faint dried plum, and essences of preserves made from strawberries and cherries. On tasting, the wine gives up flavors of blackberries, with juicy strawberry notes following through from nose to palate. Subtle suggestions of red currant and pomegranate make quieter, but nonetheless significant contributions to a flavor profile led by fruit and touched by faint oak. Aided by a pleasing level of acidity, this wine has a mid-full body, with velvet-smooth tannins.
It is easy to drink, and possesses versatility enough to make it an able match for a variety of foods. I enjoyed it with hoisin-glazed meatballs and chickpeas in a Masala-spiced tomato cream sauce, with saag, though one could also drink it with traditional Italian or Sicilian baked pasta dishes in red sauce, lamb dishes, beef or pork stir-fry, or spicy cuisines like Indian, Thai, or Jamaican Jerk seasoned meats. It tastes tailor-made for game meats as well, and possesses a fruit-led finish that lasts. This is a wine with a wide range of flavors swimming its depths that suit it as well to opening at a weekend barbecue as to serving with an intimate dinner for two.
