Friends asked what they could bring to one of my dinner parties and I simply said “wine to go with beef”.  To my good fortune, they brought this little gem.

In the glass, the wine is a bright garnet hue.  In the mouth, it’s rich with ripe berries, musky with nutty notes.  Brought on some bouquet garni elements on the medium, dry finish.
