Tasting
Notes: This
2009 red has a brilliant, deep ruby color. The exuberant nose is
of juicy black cherry, cocoa, blackberry, cassis and exotic spices.
These scents interweave effortlessly with the flavors of luscious
fruits, sun-baked lavender and allspice.
Recommended Food Pairings: Pleasing Rhone and
Bordeaux wine lovers alike, this is a very 'people and food friendly'
wine which pairs exceptionally well with beef, lamb, duck, fowl,
and cheeses, whether the meats are simply roasted or grilled, or
served with sauces.
Its exuberant fruit and spicy complexity makes it a versatile food
companion. Consider
this wine for parties to start off the evening. It
makes the transition easy.
