Behold
this big bad beast! It’s big because
half of the fruit (Merlot) is sourced from Narra Vineyards. It’s bad (in a good
way) because the other half (Touriga Nacional) comes from Robert Clay
Vineyards. Call it mixing peanut butter
with your chocolate if you’d like, but this red wine jewel packs a lot of red
berry notes including raspberry and some beautiful blueberry. Get fancy if you wish and swirl, breathe it
all in, and sip a few times. Just be prepared for some leather and smoke notes
coupled with lots of tobacco on the finish. The acids are moderate for this
medium bodied masterpiece. Pair with
your best protein dish or charcuterie board because this wine just might be
your next best friend. Saúde!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
