Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 93
This wine is concentrated, with aromas of brambled blackberry, black currant confiture, violet, dried herbs and molasses. The flavors open to ripe black plum, black cherry cream soda and sarsaparilla, wrapped around bay leaf, grilled orange slices, mineral and a dry, long finish. Decant for 30 minutes and enjoy with grilled rib eye.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
