This vivacious wine is sure to turn some heads. Bright aromas jump out of the glass and dance: nutmeg, green olive, violet and dark berry. It's spicy with supple tannins and ample structure. Flavors of red currant, pomegranate, black raspberry finish with a wisp of cedar. Bright, sassy, yet substantial...and all with a smile!
Red meat can be a natural partner if seasoned with green herbs, but braised winter greens and roasted root vegetables could shine as well. Grill a porterhouse steak, brush it with thyme butter, and serve with garlic-braised kale!
