Lost Eden Saperavi Kakheti Georgia 2018

Tasting Notes: Deep blackberry and mulberry with brambly wild-berry lift, rose petal, and subtle cocoa. Earthy tones and a hint of spice frame a supple, medium-plus body. Fresh acidity keeps the dark fruit lively; fine, lightly gripping tannins guide a smooth, gently savory finish.

Pairings: Beef Kharcho With Herbs, Charcoal-Grilled Lamb Kebabs, Mushroom Khinkali Dumplings

Composition: Saperavi (this bold, inky red is Georgia's signature grape with similar profiles as California Syrah)

Region: Kakheti
