Full-bodied with intense flavors of black cherry, boysenberry, cassis, and elderberry on entry with notes of leather, dried herbs, clove, nutmeg, sweet tobacco, camphor, and rich velvety tannins appearing on the mid-palate.

SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRINGS

Filet Mignon

The 2018 ISOSCELES is a bold wine with ripe fruit and attractive savory elements, which balance each other perfectly. This wine is rich and complex enough to be enjoyed on its own but is a perfect match with a classic filet mignon with traditional sides.

A thick, lean cut of filet mignon, topped with a butter quenelle and complemented by orange, red, and green garnishes.
