Pale cherry red with a ruby tint. The nose is very complex and fresh with intense, forward fruit on cherry and raspberry mingles with gentle toasted almond notes. The wine has a very good attack, elegant and succulent tannins. Fruit flavors on the mid-palate, especially cherry, while the elegant finish combines the fullness of fresh fruit with the refinement of the Casablanca terroir.Pairs well with goat cheese, sole in lemon butter, or carpaccio of scallops.
