Askaneli Brothers Kindzmarauli Semi-Sweet Red 2012

Askaneli Brothers was founded in 1880 and is Georgia's largest and most decorated winery. The 2012 Kindzmarauli Medium Sweet is made from the native Saperavi grape and presents aromas of cherry, plum, Christmas cake, spice, and bramble. Lots of sweet red fruit and complexity on the well-balanced palate. A wine with the structure for red meat dishes, but one that's capable of working well with saltier cheeses.
