Pairing Notes: Savor with fresh tomato sauce and angel hair pasta, or pair with savory grilled lamb chops and garlic braised potatoes.

Tasting Notes: Supple with aromas of black cherries and boysenberry jam. Notes of vanilla and brown spice complement the dark fruit on the palate, resulting in a rich and lingering finish.

Pairing Notes: Serve with a grilled, garlic-rubbed rib-eye steak and sautéed greens, or with a hearty roast prime rib and shoestring potatoes.
