This is a wine that takes your breath away. Deep ruby purple color envelopes the glass with exotic perfumed aromas of sandalwood, Chinese five spice, cedar, fresh tobacco, milk chocolate, dried herbs, blackberry, bing cherry and red plum all
entice you to take a sip. That first sip explodes with generous black plum and black currant, chocolate dipped blueberries, wild berry preserves, black licorice, savory meat and earth. The lush tannins wraps around the fruit along with mocha, toasted oak, vanilla and black licorice that lingers for an eternity. The mouthfeel is opulent, bold and rustically powerful yet has a freshness in the bright acidity. This wine is drinking gorgeously now but could stand to age another decade.
Classic pairings of beef Wellington, roast venison with rosemary red wine sauce but who wants classic? Letโs kick it up a notch with a grilled sirloin burger with aged gouda and crispy onions, a slow braised venison cheeks in red wine sauce OR roasted portobello mushroom stacks with gorgonzola.
