BRAGANINI CHAMBOURCIN 2016, Michigan

I opened this with a grilled ribeye, and the ripe blackberry and cocoa notes made for a perfect pairing. The smoke on the nose gave it a nice complexity that I wasn't expecting from a Michigan red. Already ordered another bottle.

The boysenberry and blackberry hit right up front, but the finish is where that dry structure really shines. Paired it with a ribeye last night and the smoke notes came through perfectly.

The ripe blackberry and Bing cherry flavors hit upfront, then that smoky cocoa finish lingers beautifully. Paired it with a ribeye last night and it was a perfect match.
