"Drink wine. This is life eternal," famously wrote the beauty-seeking Omar Khayyâm, and 800 years later, his observations resound with timelessness. This delicious cuvée, named after the 12th century Persian poet and philosopher, and its exotic perfume of rosemary, lavender, and cocoa combine with violet-fruited romance in a sublimely exotic, hedonistic experience. Heed the advice of Khayyâm and take "the daughter of the vine to spouse”.
Serving Suggestion: Lamb medallions simmered w/ dates, saffron, & cumin. Okra, potatoes, & eggplant stewed w/ caramelized onions, tomato paste, black pepper, & lime juice over rice.
