  A few years of bottle age, and perhaps a little riper fruit and darker barrel toast, is reflected in the richer molasses, brown sugar, and coffee flavors. The alcohol is a bit higher than the 2015 bottle, and the acidity is a bit lower. Those aspects, along with the savory/herbal notes, provide a more balanced, enjoyable experience. Pair both wines with some black truffle, wild mushroom risotto, or a coffee/maple syrup brined pork chop.

  Warm pepper and allspice on the nose, with plum tannins on the palate. The yeast gives this wine more grip than one would expect coming from Temecula, allowing it to pair up on the food structure like a region with more dense terroir. A nice mix-it-up for Syrah or Zin lovers.
