The age of this wine has given rise to a rusty/garnet color and beautiful baked brambly berry notes with a hint of limestone soil on the nose. This wine has held up considerably well and has another 5 or so years of life in it. Time has done it well to wrap all of the earth and fruit together into one seamless tasting experience! Pair with a venison tenderloin prepared medium rare with a sherry reduction or cranberry relish.
