Sama Cellars · Sargam · Rhône-Style Red Blend · Columbia Valley, Washington, USA · 2023

The Moment

This is the bottle you open when you want something smooth, comforting, and immediately enjoyable. It’s a wine for easy dinners, relaxed company, and nights where the glass should feel generous from the first sip.

What It Feels Like

The nose is concentrated and inviting. Ripe blackberry leads with confidence, joined by a distinctive chocolate note — nostalgic and warm, often likened to a Tootsie Pop — that gives the aromatics a playful richness.

On the palate, the wine is soft and seamless. Juicy pie cherry takes center stage, layered with brown sugar and black tea that glide across the tongue without friction. The texture is slinky and plush, favoring flow and roundness over structure.

The finish is smooth and gently warming, lingering on dark fruit and soft sweetness, with just enough lift to keep the wine balanced and easy to return to.

Perfect For

Weeknight dinners and casual gatherings
Roast chicken, pork, or simple grilled meats
Takeout nights and comfort food
Drinking on its own — no food required

The Vibe Pairing

Playlist energy: Neo-soul, mellow hip-hop, laid-back dinner playlists
Aura color: Deep ruby, cocoa powder, warm spice
Time of day: Dinner → couch → glass refilled without thinking
