An authentic paella is all about the ingredients and the method of cooking.

Vivid ruby-red. Aromas of ripe red and dark berries, spice cake, and candied flowers…Sappy black raspberry and cherry flavors show good depth as well as energy. Silky and appealingly sweet, finishing with sharp focus and smooth tannins.
