2018 In My Dreams
58% Grenache, 18% Tempranillo, 12% Graciano, 6% Tannat, 6% Carignan

This is one of those wines you can never pin down as every sniff and sip brings another flavor, another revelation. Dark ripe nectarines, grilled blood orange, macerated strawberries, graham cracker, vanilla meringue, a perfectly cooked steak's iron minerality, too many notes to include. Somehow the wine manages to be so round as to fill every corner of your mouth, and yet so smooth that it feels like silk on your tongue. Light and bright, while also dense and complex. Drink it immediately or wait to see the layers develop and progress. Enjoy now through 2028.

Pairings: Elk Medallions, Duck Confit, Penne Norma, Carnitas Tacos (or make them with Jackfruit!), dry flakey cheeses like Mimolette.

The richness of this wine demands a dish of equal depth. Gamey meats like elk or duck play against the layers of fruit and pull out the iron minerality. Tomato based dishes will have their natural acidity soothed by the mouth filling nature of the blend. And a little spice will complement not clash, so don't be afraid to level up your Taco Tuesday.
