There
is something extra special about this single vineyard sourced fruit from La
Pradera Vineyards. Could it be that it was made from free run juice? Could it
be that it was aged for 22 months? Or
could it be that certain things aligned in 2019 to help make this magic happen? Maybe all of that and more, but this inky red
wine packs some elevated acidity with notes of blueberry throughout. Add to that a bit of herbaceous notes for
this dry red beast, and you have an excellent wine to pair with cheese,
charcuterie, and hearty meat dishes. It is a cellar worthy bottle for the long
run, so stock up and enjoy for the next decade or perhaps more. Santé!
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.
