Wine Advocate's Review: "A luscious and jammy red that is medium-full-bodied wit hripe berry, dark cherry, currant, blackberry, fig, and a hint of olive and oak notes. Pair with rich flavors like meaty dishes, try with BBQ-marinated pork ribs, beef, vegetable skewers or T-bone steaks." (93)
Personal Review: One of the events the Vintage Cellar hosts every semester is a 6-week long class for individulas 55+ called Lifelong Learning. Basically, for $125, people get to come do 6 structured tastings run by Randall. This semester's class is going over the wines of France, and luckily this was one of the wines they tried! I had it with some Basque Ossau-Iraty cheese, which I thought paired extremely well due to its creaminess and aromatics.
