Tasting Notes Medium-bright ruby; raspberry preserve, wild strawberry, quince jelly, orange peel, fresh rose, carnation, pepper, nutmeg and a subtle smoky note; silky and velvety with supple, ripe tannins.
Food Pairing Quail with grapes, roast poussin with vegetables, grilled flank steak, or calf’s liver deglazed with raspberry vinegar.
