Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Roasted wild salmon

  • Grilled pork chops

This California take on a classic Loire Valley red is a very welcome surprise with only 13% alcohol and fresh, anise-inflected red cherry fruit. A vibrant, sassy, and feminine wine that uses subtlety to get noticed. Bebame means "drink me" in Italian!
