Wine Review: This was my favorite wine from the Calcareous portfolio that I tried at this year's Boston Wine Expo. It was opaque and dark purple colored and opens with a very attractive blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, very well balanced, and concentrated. The flavor profile is a ripe blueberry with notes of black pepper and blackberry. The finish is rather dry and its huge tannins are very lengthy. This wine needs fat, so pair it with a cowboy ribeye and enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Stunning, inky red color, with a nose of deliciously dark dusky forest fruits framed in subtle French Oak. Morrelo Cherries excite the palate with a lingering complement of fine mocha chocolate. Savor with a choice cut of prime Angus.

Organic status: not organic
