2020 Les Marmitons Gastronomy Shiraz

Description

This wine was fermented in small lots and hand-plunged throughout fermentation. It was aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 20 months before racking and bottled without filtration. It appears dark ruby-purple in the glass with aromas of fresh black cherries, blackberries, cracked pepper, smoke and tobacco. The palate is full but fresh with well-structured tannins that will lend ageability to this wine.

Pairing Suggestions

Try with grilled meats, lamb Shawarma, or nutty sheep’s cheese.
