Red Wine
SKU: SISBRE1836

Our powerful boldest premium reds, dark, age-worthy wines of substance. Regardless of their grape, these heavyweights are barrel-aged and quite concentrated in flavor.

FOOD PAIRING: These big reds perform best with rich, high-protein foods such as AGED CHEESES & RED MEATS and work brilliantly with RICHER, BOLDER SAUCES too.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

A deep dark purple in color.

Aroma: 

This Red Wine opens with vibrant aromas of black currant, cassis and a hint of lilacs. 

Palate: 

It is full-bodied with a nicely textured palate that highlights the dark fruit flavors of black plum and boysenberries layered with spices and herbs. Firm tannins lead to a fresh finish that lingers.
