The Decadent Reds That Make Chocolate Even Better: 6 Or 12 Bottles

The Idea Of Improving On Chocolate May Sound Insane But Hear Us Out The Flavors Of A Well Paired Wine Can Actually Make Both The Wine And Chocolate Taste Even Better. You Cant Just Go Opening Any Bottle And Expect To Experience A Whole New Level Of Decadence Though. The Magic Of Pairing Chocolate And Wine Is Balancing The Levels Of Flavors. Too Much Sweet And Your Palate Will Burn Out, Pairing A Super Dry Red With A Sweet Chocolate Will Make The Wine Taste Bitter. Weve Curated A Delicious Selection Of Red Wines Perfectly Suited To Pair With Any Chocolate. Ambicion Merlot 2019 Ambicion Merlot Grapes Grow In The Alluvial Soils Of The Uco Valley In Mendoza, Argentina At An Elevation Of 1200 Feet Above Sea Level. A Wide Range In Temperatures Between Day And Night, And Irrigation From The Mineralized Runoff From The Andes Mountains Makes For Excellent Merlot Growing Conditions. This Wine Is Violet In Color With Deep Blue Hues And Aromas Of Dark Fruit, Including Blackberries, Morello Cherries And Currants. This Wine Has Good Structure With Well-Balanced, Round Tannins And A Long Finish. Because Of The Elegant, Soft Tannins, This Wine Pairs Well With Game Meats (Like Rabbit Or Duck) And Semi-Hard Cheeses. Abv 13.9% Leonard Road Red Blend Leonard Road Wines Have Been Lovingly Crafted By The Calabria Family For Three Generations. After Spending Five Years Apart, In 1934 Francesco Calabria Wrote To His Wife, Elisabetta, In Italy And Asked Her To Join Him In Australia. Together, They Built Calabria Wines At Villa 116 On Leonard Road. Today, Francesco And Elisabettas Grandchildren Continue The Family Tradition Of Winemaking. Leonard Road Cabernet Merlot Perfectly Blends The Best Qualities Of Both Reds; The More Intense Tannins Of The Cabernet Flawlessly Complement The Soft Notes Of The Merlot. Underlying Notes Of Fresh Red Berries Gently Balance The Delicious Plumy Nose. Beautifully Deep Crimson And Purple Colors Fill The Glass With Each Pour Of This New South Wales (Southeast Australia) Stunner. We Recommend Drinking This Wine Now And Pairing With Rich Pastas, Pizza Or Roast Beef; Perfect For Any Mid-Week Dinner. Abv 13% Guanaco West Malbec There Is A Reason This Wine Is Labeled Vino Del Desierto Or Wine Of The Dessert- In The Vast And Relatively Barren Mendoza Desert Of Argentina, Not Much Grows Except This Ridiculously Hearty And Brazen Malbec Grape. While Some Vines Are Fragile And Require A Tender Hand To Grow Them, These Malbec Vines Are The Sturdiest And Nearly Indestructible Product Of A Harsh And Unforgiving Landscape. The Flavor Reflects This Journey- Deep, Dark And Juicy. Bursting With Intense Fruit Flavors And Inflections Of Oak. We Recommend Pairing With Dark Poultry Or Lean Red Meats. Abv 14% Sogno Italiano Rosso 2020 Sogno Means Dream In Italian And That's Fitting Because For A Wine Lover, Italy Is A Dream Come True. It's Hard To Find A Bad Glass Or Bottle Of Wine In The Country, Which Makes Our Job Of Curating Sensational Wines Both Easier And Harder. It's Easy Because There Is A Lot Of Delicious Wine To Find But Also A Bit Harder To Find Ones That Truly Shine More Than The Others. The Sogno Italiano Rosso Is One That Truly Did Stand Out. It Is Soft, Round And Balanced, A Sensational And Easy-Drinking Wine. It Is Bursting With Intense Fruit Flavors That Are Instantly Satisfying. As Any Good Italian Red Should, This Is A Lovely Pairing For Most Pasta Dishes But Will Also Standout When Put Next To Any Meat Dish, Particularly When Grilled.
