Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 95 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with an intricate bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild raspberry, rose petals, and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is layered and precise, revealing lush red and dark berry fruit, nuances of forest floor, delicate oak, and a hint of sweet baking spice, all framed by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Its long, silky finish makes it an exceptional match for refined dishes such as roast duck with cherry sauce or a classic French herb-crusted rack of lamb.
