{"product_id":"k-vintners-king-coal-2020","title":"K Vintners King Coal 2020","description":"\u003ch4\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red wine originates from the United States, specifically from the Royal Slope subregion of the Columbia Valley in Washington State. K Vintners was established in 1999 by self-taught winemaker Charles Smith, a former rock band manager who was named 'Winemaker of the Year' by both Food \u0026amp; Wine and Wine Enthusiast. The winery's philosophy emphasizes small-batch, single-vineyard productions that utilize native yeasts and traditional methods, such as whole-cluster fermentation, to create wines with a distinct sense of place and 'rockstar' personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eK Vintners King Coal is a bold and structured red with a deep, shimmering crimson-purple colour. The nose is 'earthy with a capital E,' offering a brooding bouquet of currants, black olive, and wild green herbs accented by notes of graphite, tobacco, and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and intense, delivering a mélange of dark berries, black licorice, and sarsaparilla over a core of fine-grained, 'edgy' tannins. It is characterized by its commanding presence, mineral tension, and a long, multi-layered finish that replays notes of cacao bean and ancient spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 'mightily-structured' nature of King Coal makes it an ideal partner for rich and savoury dishes. It pairs perfectly with grilled ribeye steak, barbecued ribs, or a wild boar ragu served over pappardelle. Its earthy and herbal undertones also complement herb-crusted rack of lamb, venison medallions, or roasted winter vegetables with balsamic glaze. For a cheese course, consider serving it with an aged, sharp white cheddar or a complex smoked gouda.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300435 - Authentic Wine And Spirits Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43139008495703,"sku":"876632","price":206.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/K-Vintners-King-Coal.jpg?v=1778594464","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/k-vintners-king-coal-2020","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
