81% Tannat, 11% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot. Deep ruby color. The nose opens with toasty wood and vanilla, giving way to layers of bramble, berry compote, and light florals of violet. On the palate, it offers a balanced expression of black plum, blackberry, and muted black currant, alongside notes of dried blue fruits, earthy tones, herbal spice, and a wisp of smoke. The influence of neutral oak preserves the fruit purity while enhancing texture. This is a dry wine with medium acidity and medium-plus, soft yet structured tannins that are seamlessly integrated, providing a sense of elegance and depth. Medium-bodied with medium flavor intensity and a medium finish.

Food Pairing: braised short ribs, ribeye, roasted duck, smoked sausage, charred eggplant with tahini and herbs, stuffed portobello, aged manchego, asiago, smoked gouda, blue cheese.
