Wine Details
Price:
$22.50 per bottle
Description:
The French Connection is our homage to the great blends of the Bordeaux region of France. The warm summer and cool fall of 2002 allowed for maximum hang-time; concentrating the flavors and allowing for good acidity. Using traditional French varietals and vinification techniques, including gentle cap irrigation and warm temperature fermentation, we were able to extract deep color and body without astringency.
Exquisite aromas of cherry, cassis and mint are complimented by touches of chocolate, toffee and anise.
Flavors of cherries and blackberries explode in the mouth, leading to a well-balanced, velvety finish of toasty nutmeg and dark chocolate.
Pair this wine with mustard-crusted lamb chops or braised short ribs. Enjoyable now, this wine will continue to improve for 3-5 years of cellar aging.
