Body
Appearance
Opaque yet vibrant in color, the inky blackish-purple core tends toward ruby at the rim, and medium thickness tears moderately stain the glass.
Aroma
On the nose, the wine is aromatic with rich warming spices and lush blackberry jam, followed by notes of violet, dried autumn leaves, leather, and toasty oak spice.
Palate
Full-bodied and dry on entry with lush raspberry, baked plum, cassis, and cherry pie. The midpalate is bold and savory, with elements of juicy fig, roasted red pepper, licorice, clove, and espresso. Supple tannins frame the full fruit and herbal spice notes, while the wine’s bright acidity makes for a mouthwatering and complex finish.

SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRINGS
Filet Mignon
The 2021 ISOSCELES Reserve is rich and powerful without losing its grace or elegance, with both luscious fruit and grounding savory elements. 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.
