What to Expect
This dessert wine comes from LATERUS WINERY in Washington State, where they skillfully blend Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon to create a rich and concentrated offering. Known for its savory and peppery notes when sourced as Syrah, or more fruit-forward and riper when labeled Shiraz, this wine is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, hearty stews, and dishes featuring black pepper or smoked spices. Its robust structure makes it ideal for both everyday enjoyment and special occasions alike.
