2015 Two Lions

Color: light purple garnet

Body: medium

Primary Nose: blackberry, dried cherry, stone fruit.

Secondary Nose: cola, vanilla

Strong red grenache character up front with ripe fruit and good acid, combined with finessed Syrah structure on the mid palate. Good tannins, lingering dried cherry mouthfeel.  A balanced and nuanced wine, expressing the synergy of two classic Rhone varietals.  Two Lions indeed!

Paring Suggestions:  BBQ beef brisket or pork shoulder, grilled lamb or other specialty sausage. Pizza /flatbreads, dishes with fresh rosemary, thyme or marjoram.
