This powerhouse wine is dark in colour and rich in flavour and aromas. The bouquet is spicy, with black cherry, tobacco leaf, licorice and coffee notes in the glass. Big, round and flavourful on the palate with delicious dark fruit, leather, cassis and pepper. Warm, with a soft tannin backbone, fine acidity and good structure. This wine demands patience to reach it's full potential - allow it to mellow minimally 9-12 months as it will improve with age.

Fermenting your wine on GenuWine Winery Crushed Grape Skins (included) will enhance the bouquet and contribute soft velvety tannins for a round, juicy mouth feel. Also included: raisins and oak chips.

Food Pairings:
Enjoy with braised beef, tomato sauce and pasta or gouda cheese.

Includes muslin bag, oak, raisins & moist Genuwine Winery Grape Skins.
