You’ll get a serious ten-dollar over delivery of value in this bottle of the Black Devil. Lively black fruit, firm grip, rich oak spice, pepper, and a finish that pushes the fruit through the spice nicely. Stick to the beefy side of the menu when pairing, and add the side of mushrooms and blue cheese butter. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
