The Story
Innovative Approach and Dedication to Oak Aging
This wine takes an innovative approach by adding just 10% delicate Pinot Noir to the classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This creates an elegant softness within a firm structure.
The three grape varieties are aged separately in oak barrels with different levels of toasting. After each variety's full potential is achieved, they are blended by the master blender to create a harmonious wine.
Food Pairing
Perfect for barbecues, celebrations, and holiday dinners. Enjoy a perfect pairing for those who appreciate red wines aged in oak barrels.
- ■ Teriyaki or sweet and savory meat dishes with sauce – The wine's ripe berry fruitiness and vanilla aroma perfectly harmonize with the rich flavor of sweet and savory sauces, enhancing the umami.
- ■ Beef steak, game meat, or barbecue – The velvety tannins of Merlot and Cabernet beautifully envelop the fat of the meat, allowing you to enjoy a refreshing yet rich taste.
- ■ Aged cheese, smoked hard cheese – The wine's complex oak nuances exquisitely match the smoky aroma and the saltiness of aged cheese.
