This wine explodes with candied fruitiness, followed by spice and a smoky finish. There is an aroma of black cherry, blackberry, dark plum, and licorice. Fruit forward, this wine is intrinsically balanced and spicy, but with nice acidity. Dried cherry and sultana, Luxardo cherry, and fig aromatics set the tone for the candied red fruits on the palate. The big structure and bright acid are nicely balanced and the medium-length finish has warm caramel and toffee notes to round it out.
Pair with roast beef, chili spiced cuisine, grilled salmon, smoked oysters, barbecued pork, even Hawaiian pizza.
