Color: Inky, purple-black. Rim variation--deeper center. Staining of the glass. Medium viscosity.
Aroma: Purple flowers, pepper, boysenberry cobbler, plum, vanilla, caramel, cedar, blackcherry.
Palate: Buttery, medium plus tannins, savory, vanilla, blackberry, cinnamon, cassis/black currant, blueberry.
What I'm pairing it with: Hormel chili with beans
The chili brings forth the sweet caramel and vanilla notes of the wine. The spice of the chili is brought right to the front. The tannins of the wine slice through the fat of the chili.
