This approachable, fruity quaff starts with crisp citrus and tropical fruit on the nose, leading into fresh, fun, fruity flavors backed by a lively, minerally kick. Some spice on the finish gives it extra oomph. Not terribly complex, but definitely exciting.

Black cherry and pepper lead on the nose of this appealing red blend from Darling. Flavors of fruity black cherry are reined in by dry black pepper and an elegant, acidic backbone. Complex enough to enjoy alone, or excellent as a food pairing wine; think pork or ham.

Cherry, pepper and spice on the nose are followed by similar flavors in this dry red. Balanced and touched with oak, the wine will pair well with grilled meats and spiced dishes. For fans of softer wines, age this for a few years before drinking.
