2012 Porporina ~ $30.00
Icon Cellars award winning Porporina is an enticing Super-Tuscan style wine made from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah.
This is a nuanced wine with aromas of lavender, dried herbs, black licorice, and dark plum. Beautifully balanced palate showing bright cherry, cardamom, and vanilla, with soft tannins and a ferrous minerality on a long finish.
Pair with tomato based dishes such as pizza and pasta, mushroom risotto, crudo tuna, pork roast, game such as venison or wild boar, or grilled dishes (especially if prepared with herbs such as rosemary and thyme).
