This wine is opulent with aromas of black cherry, olallieberry and paprika. Other notes waft through, including blueberry jam, black strawberry and tangerine. Layers of dark fruit, dark chocolate, cracked black peppercorn, earth and silky tannins bring it all together. Pair with your favorite takeaway. — Tonya Pitts
