Taste: Elizabeth, this is a big one! I highly recommend decanting this wine. The wine is condensed with notes of Maraschino black cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate, coffee, toasted oak, and caramel. This is a wine to enjoy on a quiet night by the fireplace.
Pairs with: red meats; ribeye, Kansas strip, short ribs.
FYI: This wine was brought to my attention when I started to follow Brenae Royal on Instagram. Brenae is a force, she is African American, in her twenties and is the vineyard manager for Monte Rosso Vineyard.
