Château de Ségriès
Tavel Grenache Blend Rosé 2018
Bright and deep red. Shy nose and more present palate of pomegranate, citrus rind, dry red flowers, and anise fruit leather. Bracing acidity shores up the medium to full (for a rosé) body. Young Tavel giving a glimpse of what could come five to ten years on. A great wine with light “red wine” or heavier “white wine” dishes as well as an intriguing late summer/early fall sipper. Drink now or hold through 2028. — 5 years ago
Red Car
Box Car Sonoma Coast Syrah 2004
Perfect match for first wine home with Andrew’s pull pork xian hamburger after long drive from Southern Shores. Notes of smoke bacon salinity carrying through to palate and finish with sense of liveliness despite the age. Good match. AA10 like Longboard — 3 years ago
