Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
The 2021 vintage is widely regarded as dense and "crowd-pleasing," with a profile that feels more expensive than its price tag:
- Nose: Bold and aromatic. It opens with dark cherry, blackberry jam, and fig, layered with more savory notes of crushed rocks, old leather, and a hint of violet.
- Palate: Full-bodied and rich. You’ll find cocoa bean, vanilla, and brown sugar sweetness balanced by "shadowed" notes of black olives, graphite, and espresso. The tannins are "leathery" but finely polished, giving it a structured, serious feel.
- Finish: Long and bright. It leaves a resonance of dark chocolate and rum raisin with a pleasantly grippy, dry finish.
Food Pairings
Because of its high density and significant Cabernet influence, this wine needs protein and fat to soften its tannins:
- The Classic Choice: Grilled Ribeye or New York Strip. The wine’s graphite and black olive notes are a natural match for the charred crust of a steak, while the acidity cuts through the marbling.
- Savory & Salty: Braised Short Ribs. The slow-cooked richness of the meat pairs perfectly with the cocoa and spice notes in the blend.
- Casual Gourmet: A Bacon Blue Cheese Burger. The bold flavors of blue cheese and smoky bacon stand up to the "dark and heavy" profile of the 2021 vintage without being overshadowed.
- Vegetarian Option: Roasted Portobello Mushrooms with Balsamic Glaze. The earthiness of the mushrooms mimics the wine's "mossy bark" and leather characteristics.
