That ripe plum flavor really comes through on the palate, and the pink peppercorn gives it a nice little kick that works perfectly with grilled lamb. It’s smooth enough to drink on its own, too.

The plum and pink peppercorn combo is spot on—it’s floral without being sweet, and the pepper kick lingers just enough to make every sip interesting. Poured a glass with grilled lamb chops and it held up beautifully, even as it warmed up.

Opened this with dinner last night and the floral aroma hit me right away, then those ripe plum flavors came through smooth and bold. It was surprisingly easy to drink with the steak we had, and the pink peppercorn kick gave it a nice little edge. Definitely grabbing another bottle for the weekend.
