Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block
A South African blend built around Syrah. Darker and more savory than a Napa red at the same price.

How it tastes
Blackberry and plum, black pepper, cured meat and a cocoa note the name promises.
Full-bodied and dry, with firm but fine tannin. Structured rather than plush.
How to serve it
Syrah-led and structured. It's noticeably better after three-quarters of an hour.
Drinking well now, and it'll hold a few more years without changing much.
Pour it with
- Pork Belly Burnt Ends (Jalapeno Jelly & Miso) Pepper and smoke meet the bark
- Texas Brisket Tannin against rendered fat
- Collard Greens with Ham Hocks Savory with savory
