Description
Chocolate and wine are an amazing duo, they truly bring out the best in each other. This gift set is the perfect tasting collection to indulge a wine and chocolate lover. Offering four chocolate bricks, each with a different cocoa content, BRIX chocolates are specifically blended to complement wine. The natural tannins in cocoa prime the palate for the tannins of the wine, allowing other flavors in the wine to shine. We carefully selected two wines to pair with a specific "brick" of chocolate.
Wine Gift Set Includes:
- BRIX Chocolate Sampler:
Includes four 4 ounce chocolate bricks (extra dark 70%, medium dark 60%, smooth dark 54%, and milk 46%) - 2015 Landmark Overlook Pinot Noir:
The Overlook Pinot Noir is created by sourcing grapes from the finest cool climate vineyards of California, so the wine created captures the essence of that vintage.Aromatic and complex with ripe red cherry, strawberry jam, pomegranate, brown spice and attractive autumn forest and floral notes. The palate is crisp and beautifully balanced with a mix of ripe red fruit and spice on entry, with savory tobacco and leather notes and a broad mineral texture on the mid-palate. Attractive fruit, spice and savory elements interact through the finish, framed with wonderfully fine tannins.
Rated 91 Point: Wine Enthusiast - 2014 Chateau Peymouton Bordeaux:
Chateau Peymouton has a wonderful deep ruby color. It reveals a rich and elegant nose with delicious aromas of blackcurrant and plum. On the palate the attack is powerful, with fine, silky tannins. There are beautiful notes of ripe red fruits and the subtle minerality on the finish contributes to the freshness of the wine.
Rated 91 Points: Wine Enthusiast
Due to the popularity of this gift, vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with a wine of equal or greater value. Pursuant to state laws in New York, gifts that contain both food and wine will be sent in two separate packages.
