Tasting Notes
The 2021 vintage has concentrated aromas of black cherry, raspberry, mint, and cream that lead into flavors of dark chocolate, graham cracker, and cedar. The wine is lush and bright and was created to enjoy now, or for many years to come as it will age gracefully. Enjoy!
Food Pairings
Dry rubbed boneless pork ribs, prime rib with shiitake mushroom risotto, and herb roasted chicken and grilled spiced cauliflower.
