We like the big boldness of ripe dark fruit that was moderately intense. The aromas of berry, toasted oak tannins and a bit of coffee spice. Found a fair amount of balance with the acidity. A good finish that made the wine rememberable.
57 Octaves Below Middle C” recieved its unusual name by Jason for the sound a black hole makes. The label is a distorted film photograph of a distorted horizon reminiscent to the event horizon of a black hole. It led him "to diving into a black hole of possibilities. After months of blending trials, he, escaped the theoretical black hole with a perfect blend".
Pairing: Lamb gyros, pizza with red sauce, Jamon Iberica, Spanish tapas and grilled salted steaks
