Cedar, plum and spice do most of the work here. Earth brings the extra detail; the firm tannin gives it grip without taking over.
At the table: Make room for steak or hard cheese. The meat softens the tannin and pulls plum forward, so both the food and the wine come out better.
Origin: Bessa Valley, Bulgaria
Grape: Red blend
