Notes: This Glou Glou is certainly a food wine; in fact, it begs for food. It has enough acid to stand up to your favorite tomato sauce, as well as intense berry notes that perfectly complement the char of a burger or perfectly cooked pizza crust. Serve this slightly chilled, and you will be the hero of your next backyard barbecue — this is the most refreshing red wine ever, and the perfect antidote to long summer days and the heat of the grill. On the nose it is a sea of aromatic black plum, red licorice, and raspberry with undertones of clove and hawthorn. The palate is intense and fleshy with flavors of red plum, hibiscus, and pomegranate with a long spicy finish.
