From Sobon's Lubenko Vineyard, planted on native root stock very early in the 20th century, comes this rich, multi-faceted wine. Dark cherry red and full bodied, it shows a purity of fruit and hints of minerality. It is well textured, with a signature brambly component exemplifying its mountain character. The aromas are reminiscent of spring lilacs and fruit compote with hints of sandalwood and subtle vanilla notes. With a warm, lingering, luxuriant finish, this offering is best paired with roasted rack of lamb, smoked meats, ripe soft cheeses, and Szechuan style beef.
