Robust aromas of wild black cherry,
rosehip preserves, and toasted
hazelnut encourage the first sip that
shows off the flavors of boysenberry
scone, blackberry compote, and black
peppercorn. Sultry tannins linger
along with notes of red currant, lilac,
and espresso. Spectacular balance
and dark fruits make this the perfect
pairing for cast iron lamb loin chops
with cognac butter sauce.
