Food Pairing Notes
This full-bodied red is delightful to pair with. Experiment with dishes that complement the rich tannins and acidity in this wine such as melt in your mouth Braised Short Ribs or a Spicy Cajun Jambalaya. It is equally elegant with decadent rich casserole or dishes with lighter creamy sauces.
