Aromas of currants, smoke and black pepper are classic for this variety.  This is medium-plus in weight and texturally very attractive with sweet mulberries, black pepper and some woodiness. Smoky roasted or grilled meats, strong cheeses, beans and greens, chicken with mole sauce, a pot of chili, or charred vegetables are all options that would complement this wine.
