The 2013 Alauda (with 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Colorino) reveals a dark and penetrating personality. The wine's appearance is darkly saturated and thick. The bouquet is permeated with rich notes of spice, Spanish cedar, campfire ash, blackberry preserves and lots of dark cherry. The finish delivers heavy extraction and extra thickness that weighs it down firmly to the palate. Pair this wine with T-bone steak cooked on the grill with rosemary.
