Nose of chocolate brownie and cherry are balanced by notes of bar-b-que, mesquite smoke and leather. Rich but not sweet, with intoxicating layers. Palate of dark chocolate with ripe plums, a hint of blackberry and integrated wood. This wine features a defining texture - produced from a chalky tannin character that is both round and grippy. Dry yet rich, with lavish fruit. Be daring and drink slightly chilled to enhance the flavor profile. Pair with Asian, Indian or Mexican; smoked meats or grilled hamburgers - don't forget the fries!
