Australian red from S.C. Pannell, made with Aglianico, delivering structure and depth without sacrificing balance. Dark fruit notes mingle with savory spice, supported by firm tannins and lively acidity. Aromas of black cherry, plum, olives, and espresso lead to a palate of concentrated fruit, tobacco, and cocoa, finishing long and mineral-driven. Pairs well with grilled meats, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses. Decant for immediate enjoyment or cellar for additional complexity.
