You did it! We like to serve ours with a glass or two of Port Townsend Vineyards 2018 Malbec! This Malbec features balanced and flavorful notes of red raspberries and black plum to bring out the fresh rosemary of this dish. Smooth precipitating tannins accentuate the robust and earthy lamb making them quite a lovely pair. Try this recipe with Gorgonzola Green Beans on a bed of light and fluffy potatoes. Enjoy!
