  Touted as the wine to consume with wild game, you'll find El Pavo to be so much more. Pours as a ruby red. Smells as pleasant floral and grape bouquet. Drinking introduces as a well controlled tannin on a bed of chewy wood and leaf. Here's where it becomes wondrously complicated. The bark, barbecue and toothsome grape tastes blanket the palate as gustatory slide show. Each grape in this blend glides across your taste buds in a swirl. As I wrote, a slide show. The grapes in this blend are amazing: dolcetto, barbera, Sangiovese, montepulciano and refosco. Buy bottles. Decant and serve with dark/red meat and/or red, hearty sauce. Viva, Texas!
