Another Showcase single block, single varietal wine that shows the elegance and power of the 2010 vintage. Picked at 24.1 brix giving 13.6% alcohol with 18 months in a mix of French and American oak. Nose of big, smoky strawberries and cocoa … palate shows elegance of peppered-strawberry, smoky tobacco and dark chocolate … for those not into sweet wines after dinner it’s a great pairing with chocolate because of the cocoa notes both on the nose and palate … for the rest of us great pairing with meats. Price: $40.00 – Rating: ****
