Wine Review: This cloudy deep purple colored Petit Verdot based red blend from J. Dusi opens with a very inviting violet, loam, and acai berry bouquet with hints of cracked black pepper, cocoa powder, and dates. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, bright, and very mouthwatering. The flavor profile is an acai berry and tobacco blend with notes of spiced black plum and oak. We also detected hints of stony minerality, cracked black pepper, and black tea. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and well-managed dusty tannins linger and last for a while. We would pair this red blend with lamb lollipops or oxtail stew. Enjoy - KWGTP
