Tasting Notes: An archetype of Rhône character - combining power and spicy elegance with utterly palate-pleasing style. The '07 Fond-Croze Côtes du Rhône has a stunning bouquet for such an affordable red. Lucious ripe blackberry and plum fruits are enhanced by nuances of violet, cinnamon and black pepper. The flavors are generous with the blackberry and plum fruits underscored by hints of clove and the characteristic black pepper spice of the region.
Recommended Food Pairings: Perfect red for richer pork dishes, crock pot recipes and tomato-based seafood stews. Red meats, potages, and cheeses. Its rich fruit and spicy style makes a great choice for a warm-weather grillfest. Try it with everything from steaks to burgers to salmon to veggies and beyond. Its bright and zesty character makes it a perfect companion for pizza, pasta, spicy stews and anything grilled.
