Tasting Notes


Oh, hello, ideal wine to have with chocolate - particularly anything s’mores-related (yes, Pop-Tarts count, and don’t try and act like those aren’t the best flavor of toaster pastry. No shade to frosted wild berry). Sans’ can of red is ripe, juicy, and doesn’t dry your whole mouth out like other oakier reds would, which makes it ideal for an evening eating sweet graham cracker cavity sandwiches. A few squares of rich Hershey’s blanketed by toasty molten marshmallow would really kickstart the fruitiness along with a terrific little dried cranberry-raspberry rhubarb stickiness. Don’t be afraid to throw the can in the fridge - this is awesome when chilled.

Pair With:


Duh. But if s’mores aren’t your thing, break out the good stuff (like Compartes) and have yourself a luxe chocolate bar sampler platter.

Funk-o-Meter


The funk’s really mellow here - like The Avalanches’ new album, “We Will Always Love You.”
