90 Points | Gold Medal “Spicy, mineral and peppery.” Wonderful aromas of sour cherry chocolate tart, cranberry, and clove set the stage for flavors of Montmorency cherry, raspberry, and Malabar black pepper. Silky tannins linger throughout the finish along with notes of hibiscus, red currant, and sumac. Baking spices and red fruits make this the ideal pairing for parmesan & herb crusted chicken breast pan-fried and baked with mozzarella cheese and tomato basil sauce or cannoli with chocolate custard.
