Aromas of black plum, dark cherry and wild berries rise from the glass, layered with violet, pepper, smooth oak and a cool flicker of mint. The palate is full-bodied and generous, but nicely balanced, with juicy black fruit, polished tannins and a warm, fruit-laden finish that feels smooth, satisfying and just a little exotic. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"879\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"607\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e the grill is glowing and something smoky is on the table.\u003cbr data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"668\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"683\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e lamb kebabs, grilled aubergine, spiced meatballs, or slow-cooked beef.\u003cbr data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"757\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"787\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a late evening terrace in Anatolia, with charcoal smoke in the air and spice on the breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1344\"\u003eKuzubağ was founded in 2007 in Çal, Denizli, with a focus on showcasing Turkey’s distinctive terroir through both native grapes and classic international varieties.
