Shop Review: Bold and rich with developed aromatics of blackberry, cherry, cedar, leather and cocoa powder. The palate continues with deep blackberry jam, huckleberry and black currant. The oak structure guides the way to lingering cocoa powder on the finish.
My Review: MUST BE ALLOWED TO OPEN. I can't stress that enough. Straight out of the bottle you will be disappointed. Let it breath. Once it's sat for a time the complexity of this wine soars. The nose sails through, currant, blackberry, and cocoa with the palate reinforcing those notes and adding a jammier component. Finally it crescendos with a hit of oak and fades away leaving behind the cocoa note you knew from before. Sensational wine.
Food Pairing: I paired it with a dry rubbed top sirloin steak, twice baked potatoes and fresh broccoli cooked al dente and seasoned with a chipotle spice.
