Wine Review: This opaque and midnight purple colored wine from Krupp Brothers opens with a fragrant ripe blackberry bouquet with hints of balsamic, cedar and menthol. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and savory. The flavor profile is a tasty graphite and mild blackberry blend with notes of plum and a hint of black tea. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins show very nice length. The Panel suggested pairing this wine with burnt ends or a leg of lamb. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Synchrony opens with sultry aromas of clove, anise, bay leaf and blackberry. Velvety and plush upon entry, the layered palate of this Bordeaux blend offers lush blackcurrant and sage finishing with lingering dark chocolate and savory nuances. Pair with pork tenderloin medallions in sage butter sauce or grilled lamb with mint risotto. Drink now through 2035.
