Wine Review: This hazy and medium purple colored Grenache and Mourvèdre based blend from Jambe de Bois opens with a black raspberry and graphite bouquet with hints of black pepper and black plum. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and savory. The flavor profile is a mild blackberry and graphite blend with notes of dark chocolate and cola. I also detected hints of black pepper, oak, and tobacco. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate tannins build-up slightly and are slightly extended. This youthful wine benefits from some aeration. I would decant it before pairing it with burnt ends. Enjoy - Ken
