| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Full-bodied dry red wine. Aromas of black currant, black plum and dark cherry with just a whiff of malted milk. On the palate, the same flavors pick up a touch of spice and keep the chocolate notes. Velvety tannins. Well-structured. Good acidity. Long finish. Needs time to open up, so suggest decanting 30 minutes to an hour. Grape types: Syrah (60%); Grenache (30%), Mourvèdre (10%). Produced without chemicals. Owner Lucien Rogé. is a dental surgeon and former French national rugby star. 2004 was a very good vintage in the region.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Grilled and roasted meats; especially prime rib, crown roast of pork; hangar steak with Gorgonzola or other bleu cheese sauce; casseroled chicken or other fowl; roast duck; barbecued meat loaf or chicken, mild curried legumes, such as chick peas; firm, aged cheeses.
