Lilac, sweet pea blossom and mulberry. Boysenberry, red cherry and goji. A bazaar of spices with dried cumin, paprika and ground coriander. Tanned leather and white pepper, a zing of sumac and pepperberry. Acidity drives the wine without peaking, tannins are gritty but even across the palate. Red bean, caraway, and rye. It’s savoury and meaty with the impressive staying power of great long lived Pinot Noirs. Beautifully balanced, serve this with pink game meats and sauteed mushrooms.
