Opulent, supple, hedonistic.
Outstanding wine with a true hedonistic character. Notes of Mulberry, sarsaparilla, black cherry, rich mocha, finely ground pepper and brown spices. It is equally opulent on the palate; salty and sweet with generous fruit supple weight and plush texture. The finish is nearly unending.
Pair: Ribs, chili and burgers or anything you can throw on the grill.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Canadian Chedder & Chive

Opulent, supple, hedonistic.
Inky and opulent with a nose of mulberry and blackberry, baking spices and white pepper, cedar chips, vanilla, star anise and espresso. It's a supple wine with salted licorice, purple berries, and mocha flavours. Juicy and serious, fleshy and lengthy with white pepper and candied violets flavours trail on the finish.

Toasted, fresh, muscular.
Matchbook Wines is owned by the Giguire family (who produce a number of labels) and are made from estate grapes grown on the rocky red sloping Dunnigan Hills located inland, north of Sacramento, California.
Expect aromas of toasted spice and black berries, pipe tobacco and mocha with earthy undertones and a hint of black pepper. The palate entry is fresh then grows toasty to mimic the nose, black fruit and bittersweet chocolate flavours mingle with fresh earth. Chalky tannins line the palate. A muscular wine; a consummate BBQ red.
