Lalayee is Persian for lullaby, and this wine holds up to its name - it will lull you with a dream of exotic eastern flavors. A blend of Walla Walla Cabernet and Merlot.

Mysterious and enthralling, the nose is savory and dusky - cardomom, saffron, smoky cinnamon, and nutmeg intoxicate the senses as they float over dark fruit. Black plum and cherry flavors are intensified by notes of pomegranate, walnut, fenugreek, saffron, smoke, and dried figs.

Lalayee screams for a fabulous meal - it's like an exotic dancer looking for a place to show her skills. What comes to mind: Duck roasted with figs and walnuts, lamb kebabs spiced with cinnamon, lime, and saffron, couscous with spiced and roasted chicken and dried peach. But the Lalayee will blow your mind with a burger just as well. - Jean
