A great effort and a nice wine but way bigger than this variety should be, Napa is not the place for Mondeuse. Many thanks to Carole and Steve for planting this!

Paired well with brussel sprouts and salt cod beignets. Who knew? Lots of tannins but great fruit as well... Would like to taste again in a few years.

Syrah-like. Very spice driven. Violets, allspice and pepper on the nose. Curry, salt and white pepper on the finish. Surprising wine.

Rustic, floral, and peppery with dark fruit beneath the layers.

Verily I say, my head nearly exploded when I tasted this! Inky deep, meaty, peppery, stiff backbone like a Buckingham Palace guard, and big in all the ways that light up my palate like a First Encounter of the wine kind. Mondeuse is rarer in the US than a UFO ... and uncommon outside of the French region of Savoie. $42 at the winery. Gotta rig up a tractor beam and get me some!
