Acacia- 2007 Red Blend

This week's favorite: 2007 A by Acacia Red Blend
$12-14, local fine wine store

This wine is delicious! While its fragrance is much like a Pinot Noir, it has bold fruit flavors of plum and berries, and notes of rich mocha. It finishes dry with generous amounts of warm spiced flavors.

This wine is perfect with a rich dish, like wild mushroom ravioli with a red wine reduction sauce. Serve with sides of garlic mashed potatoes and a warm salad topped with smoked bacon and blue cheese crumbles.
