Domaine Cazes
Rivesaltes Ambré Grenache Blanc
Roussillon, Languedoc Roussillon, France
This wine is beautifully brown - Cazes calls it amber, of course - and it looks even darker in color than a Newcastle. The nose is a dessert unto itself. Baked raisins, brown sugar and molasses are right up front, and the top of the glass throws a little smoke our way. The palate is as rich as we might expect after getting a whiff of the aromas. It is fairly viscous and has medium-high acidity, with a sherry-esque flavor that highlights the raisins. Pair it with a thick slice of cinnamon-raisin bread for either a lush dessert or a holiday breakfast.
