This grape variety comes from the Cabernet family (aka Casters in Bordeaux) displays a very intense (almost opaque) purple color. On the nose shows spicy notes (pepper, clove), with lots of black fruit aromas wrapped with a mineral and balsamic core. Vibrant acidity and silky tannins with an elegant mouthfeel and long finish. Get to be paired with frilled red Mears, barbecues, as well as strong sauces (stews, past, etc.) and firm cheeses.
