70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby in color. Soft aromas of violets, blueberry, blackberry bramble, and black cherry mingle with notes of soft vanilla, dusty earth, warm wood, and a hint of cocoa and subtle spice. On the palate, additional flavors of bramble, black plum, toasted nut, dark chocolate, and a touch of toasted wood unfold with underlying savory earth. This is a dry wine with medium-plus acidity driving freshness and medium-plus chalky tannins that maintain structure and youthful grip. The body is medium-plus with medium-plus flavor intensity and a medium-plus finish that lingers with dark fruit, spice, and earthy nuance. Structurally, the wine is built in an Old-World reserve style with layered complexity that rewards patience and benefits from decanting, allowing its depth and elegance to fully emerge.

Food Pairing: Braised short ribs, rosemary lamb, beef bourguignon, venison stew, mushroom risotto, polenta with wild mushrooms, jota (Slovenian sauerkraut and bean stew), frtalja (savory Slovenian omelet), aged Manchego, Comté, grilled eggplant, and charcuterie with hard salami and regional cured meats.
