($51) Inky, glass-staining ruby. Powerful dark berry and cherry-cola aromas are complicated by smoked meat, black cardamom and espresso; highly perfumed and distinctly wild. Supple dark berry flavors are impressively deep but lively, with nervy minerality adding verve. Coats the palate with sappy blackberry and mulberry flavors, leaving Indian spices and smoky minerals behind. Serve this with funky or blue cheeses. (Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA)
