🍷 What It Tastes Like:

• Color: Deep garnet core with ruby edges — bold but brilliant.

• Finish: Long, muscular, and meditative — this one lingers.

🍽 Pair It With:

• Power Pairings: Grilled ribeye, filet mignon, braised duck — anything that brings the umami.

• Aged Cheese Royalty: Sharp cheddar, salty Gouda, or creamy blue — rich meets richer.
