93 Points. Gold Medal. Exceptional. Beverage Testing Institute. Deep garnet violet color. Intriguing aromas of sauerkraut, cassis jam on rye toast, chocolate mousse and floral honeycomb with a silky, fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body and a clay, creme brulee and earthy pickled beet accented finish. A great savory wine for the table or sipping. Pair with porterhouse steaks and sauerbraten.
