The aromas of cocoa, warm spice and dark fruit are very powerful from the first whiff. In the mouth, the wine is layered with rich blackberry, dark cherries and hints of dark, creamy chocolate ganache. The finish lingers on, hanging on your palate while the fruit and spice flavors slowly change and fade. Pair this full bodied wine with full bodied dishes, pair the dark fruit flavors with the sweetness of aged cheese (especially blue cheese), or enjoy with gamier meats like grilled or roasted lamb.
