Description:
Another classic French Bordeaux
style grape that is a traditional
favorite of red wine lovers; We aged
this fruit-forward wine in French oak
barrels for 18 months: half in new
oak and half in old oak. It is ruby
red in color – almost jewel like
when held up to the sun! The
bouquet is clearly fruity with cherry
being most prominent but not so
strong as to prevent the soft vanillin
tones to peak out. The acids and
tannins are nicely balanced
allowing a succession of flavors to
evolve as the wine moves over the
tongue. Cassis, berry, and ever so
slight a touch of pepper reveal
themselves slowly as the wine is
sampled. Again it seems that our
terroir imparts more delicate flavors
of vanilla, chocolate, tobacco and
cedar. This wine is versatile and
easily pairs with a variety of foods:
from light meals to hardier pasta or
fine steaks. Great to simply enjoy
by itself when served at cellar
temperature.
