In the glass
Aroma: plum jam, tobacco, graphite, earth
Palate: black fruit, cocoa, cedar
Deep ruby, made only in the best years from a 90 percent Merlot blend at 15 percent alcohol. Concentrated plum and tobacco with firm tannins that the estate says give it its longevity.
What it pairs with
-
Game
Ferdinand names game; the tobacco and earth notes meet the meat. -
Red meat in any form
The producer's own recommendation; three to four weeks on the skins leave the tannin for it. -
Mature cheese
The producer names ripe cheese; salt softens the firm tannin.
