This vineyard select wine is fruit forward with rich aromas of black cherries and anise, leading into a hint of black currants and a huge nose of oak and chocolate.  On the palate it’s smooth yet bold with firm tannins & black pepper, ending with a velvety deep fruit finish.  Pair this wine with slow roasted barbecued pork, or to complement the rich flavors, pair with pepper and cumin seasoned pork shoulder.
