Bendida Rubin 2018

Rubin is an indigenous Bulgarian grape, with two very noble parents - Syrah and Nebbiolo. You get the best of both in this wine - dark cherries, dried rose petals, raspberries, and pepper. With 8 months of American oak, and 7 years aging, the tannins are smooth and silky. Despite its age, it is still full of primary fruit characteristics, and should age beautifully for at least a decade, though it's ready to drink now. You can have this on its own, or with food. It should go very well with duck and also with a great combo with a charcuterie platter.

Comparable to a Barolo
