A bold, full-bodied red built for immediate enjoyment or short-term aging. It delivers dense blackberry and plum fruit, with black pepper, smoked spice, and a hint of vanilla oak. Tannins are firm yet integrated, providing structure without heaviness. Pairs well with grilled steak, barbecued ribs, and hearty pasta sauces; ideal for casual gatherings or a robust wine list.
