| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Blending Zinfandel (76%), Syrah and Barbera, this full-bodied dry red wine with a bright purple red color exudes initial fresh red raspberry fruit, then settles into a raft of blackberry on the palate. As the finish closes, nuances of other dark fruits come about, such as sweet dark plum and dark raisins. The wine’s enjoyment is enhanced by soft tannins and moderate (13.5%) alcohol. An ideal chocolate wine, this is rich, and full-bodied, yet balanced and should prove widely appealing. Women who complain that some red wines are “too thick” will not find that objection here. Very important to serve this at cool temperatures, about 60ºF/15ºC in a generously sized tulip-shaped glass. Flick the switch on the hot tub and pour it forth! May this NOT be your last kiss. There’s also semi-dry white that may do very well with white chocolate. Chocolate: Brix medium dark chocolate (60%); Vosges bacon milk chocolate; medium dark chocolate with spice (both hot and savory); medium dark chocolate with red fruits or with espresso (The Chocolate Bar for the latter); Other foods: lamb shoulder chop generously dusted with coffee (Café Campesino), dark cacao (Ghirardelli) powder, black pepper, sea salt and five spice powder (just a hint)--really good; pork tenderloin and Muscovy duck breast given the same treatment. Also beef/pork terrine, liver mousse; grilled chicken livers on a rosemary skewer; roast chicken; creamy blue cheeses.
