After an earthy nose that hints at purple plum, toasted oak, black pepper, dried fruits and crushed cherry, this wine bursts forth with soft tannins, underlining flavors of raspberry, dark chocolate, blackcurrant and figs. If you give this wine a year or two in the cellar, it will get even better!
The smoky, vibrant character of this wine makes it a perfect match for North Carolina BBQ (the vinegar in the sauce accents this wine beautifully). Also try it with a tomato-based dish, cooked vegetables, or even goat cheese. There are lots of pairings to explore!
