The aromas of this complex red wine range from cherries and plums to gladiolus flowers and earthy flint. The tannic, oak-aged flavors are bright and round, with a dry, warm, fresh earthy finish. Best enjoyed with very flavorful dishes, such as tomato-based sauces, roasts of pork or beef, and game meats from venison to pheasant. It is also excellent with mature cheeses.
