Coup de Foudre's 37.2 Cuvee is a Right Bank style red, more specifically Pomerol-inspired, with a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Espresso, cranberry, and loam, with a wild herbaceous mint that really points to mountain fruit. A beautiful mix of floral and spice accents add complexity, while the fine grained tannin adds the polish. Really penetrates the palate with a finish that seems to go on forever.

(koo dah foo drah) - The moment when "lightning strikes" or something unforgettable occurs. A blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cab Franc & 5% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months on new oak. Fresh berry fruit aromas and exotic soft spice. On the palate sweet blackberry & cherry with vanilla spice and oak tones. Lingering ending with well balanced fruit spice and oak.

Themed around falling in love, I fell in love with this wine. Big blend, chalky dry mouthfeel, great with lamb!
