Cranberry, plum, clove, pepper, spinach and other distinctive aroma notes. Great acidity for pairing with food, and lower alcohol (13.7%)" -Dan Berger, Vintage Experiences.

- Oh my goodness is this ever lovely. It's probably one of the best food pairing reds I have ever served. There is a fantastic anise-y taste that makes this so amazing with tomatoes and olive oil and Thai food. Really just picture a meal where basil would be a good addition and pair with this wine instead. Fabulous!
