Black cherry and sweet oak aromas kick things off, and a viscous midpalate carries through in like fashion. At this point, you may be thinking that you’ve got a cocktail style wine on your hands, but the finish changes your mind with a smack of acidity cleansing the palate and leaving a cherry and oak spice impression. I would go with pork tenderloin as a pairing here.
