62% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot. Nearly opaque bright deep violet color; bright, roasted aromas and flavors of baked berries, coffee beans, and dark chocolate with an even, lively, dryish body; warming, complex marinated cherries and beets, nut skins, with chewy, dusty tannins and moderate oak. Very dry, old-world style.
Food Pairing: Osso Buco alla Veneziana, Chicken Braised in Octagon and Black Olives, Sage and Walnut-Crusted Lamb Chop with Rosemary
