This wine delights with aromas of blackberry, red plum, leaf, caramel and a touch of pepper, and delivers on the promise of the nose with a plush feel, very bright acidity, good grip and a long finish that emphasizes the berries and leafy notes. Winemaker Ondine Chattan suggests pairing with tamarind glazed pork chops — I’ll be giving that a whirl!
