The Wine
This wine is a blend of 85% Carmenere and 15% Shiraz, with 70% of it aged in French oak barrels for 10 months. It boasts a deep, dark red color with blackish tints and a lively dark red hue. The nose offers spicy aromas of ripe red currants mingled with tobacco, earthy notes, and bell pepper. On the palate, medium-bodied flavors of juicy red currants and cherries are woven with tobacco and dried herbs, leading to a spicy finish. It's supported by fine-grained tannins and a hint of bell pepper, culminating in an elegant and savory finale.
