Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Molasses and brown sugar roasted pork shoulder
  • Duck leg confit with glazed parsnips and roasted cherries
  • Veal saltimbocca

This thought-provoking Zweigelt from Croatia opens with beguiling barnyard and wild berry aromas that instantly lure you in. On the palate, the wine displays very intriguing maple, cherry cordial, and red plum flavors that come off warm and caramelized. Labeled "late harvest," this very unique bottling is soft, sinuous, and slightly reminiscent of an older Zinfandel or Cabernet that's mellowed after several years of bottle age. Wine geeks will eat this up!
