Hailing from the Médoc growing region in France, Carménère has proven to be a beautiful match for Washington State’s optimal growing conditions. The aptly named “Sergeant Pepper” holds true to its roots with gorgeous aromatics of red raspberry, roasted green peppers, and green and black peppercorns leading into grilled meat, tobacco, and hints of blackberry and vanilla sweetness on the palate. This wine will pair wonderfully with smoked, grilled, or roasted meats, such as chicken mole, Cuban-style roast pork, or smoked beef brisket but is also delicate enough to enjoy on its own.
