Intense, brilliant garnet-red color. It reveals lovely fruit, loads of body and a heady bouquet of ground peppers, raspberries cherry liqueur, currants, and spice box. Full-bodied and dense; rich and elegant - it tastes more like a "baby Châteauneuf" than a Côtes du Rhône. Pair with grilled meat or vegetables. It is also delicious with cheese, such as Camembert, Brie and Gouda.
