Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Pork belly
  • Braised lamb shoulder
  • Grilled merguez sausage
  • Smoked duck breast

This funky, stellar Cotes du Rhone made from 100% Syrah (like a Northern Rhone wine) will blow you away with its bold aromas of fatty smoked meat, earthy leather, and sweat (the good kind) wrapped around a core of tart blackberry fruit. Fantastic find.
