Brooding aromas of truffle, blackberry, dried fig, and rose petals mingle with notes of sweet, warm oak. The palate is rich with flavors of pomegranate, red raspberry, and rhubarb. These tangy fruits are well balanced with notes of thyme and tamarind, which lead into a long and specific finish. Enjoy this complex Cabernet Sauvignon, and consider pairing it with a variety of robust and earthy cuisines.
