Brick and Mortar Nouveau Magnum

This inky, purple wine was a revelation - it has the lift and buoyancy of a carbonic wine, but the fruit is deep and complex.  The Syrah brings the darker flavors of black plum, pepper, violets and juniper, which mesh beautifully with the crunchy, fresh red fruit of the Pinot -- all of which are lifted and magnified by the carbo treatment, revealing each grape's best self.  Chillable, crushable and complex all at once, this might be the most perfect red to welcome sweater season.
