品鑑筆記
 
Ripe black cherry, blackberry and plum framed by dark chocolate, mocha and cinnamon spice; subtle dried herbs and a velvety, medium-bodied texture with attractively firm tannins and a smooth finish.
 

 
搭配食物
 
Western: roasted chicken, grilled vegetables, beef stews, lamb chops, mushroom risotto, pasta with ragu, aged cheddar. Asian: char siu/BBQ pork, Korean BBQ (bulgogi), hoisin duck, beef rendang, mushroom-based stir-fries, mildly spiced Szechuan beef.
 

 
釀造方式
 
Grapes are cold‑soaked, fermented (often co‑crushed with small amounts of Petite Sirah), undergo malolactic fermentation, aged on lees and finished in French and American oak (approx. 6–8 months).
