Mood: Plush, peppery, easygoing.

Tasting Notes

Blackberry, pink and white peppercorn, tobacco leaf, and a savory game note open the nose. It is medium-to-full bodied on the palate, with dark plum, mulberry, and a kiss of oak that brings graphite and cigar-box spice forward. Soft, ripe tannins carry the peppercorn lift through the finish.

Food Pairing

It is made for grilled ribeye, smoked brisket, and pepper-crusted lamb. It stands up to cholent, and it shows beautifully with Shabbos kugel and roasted root vegetables. Being a mevushal red, it pours with confidence at any table.
