| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Sparkling red wines have so many uses and can be surprising in their food affinities. I remember a sparkling Merlot once from Australia that was beautiful with oysters Rockefeller. I sure wouldn’t have expected that. This one, with its opaque purple red color, expresses aromas full of space, sweet dark fruits and the scent of chocolate. But that sweet impression gives way to a dry red wine that offers intriguing, lingering, complex dark fruit flavors—plum, some dried fruit—that are more savory than sweet. Grape types: mostly Merlot, some Cabernet Sauvigon and Shiraz. The Southern Fleuriu is just south of McLaren Vale. Potential cellaring 5 years or more. Serve moderately chilled, about 55ºF/13ºC. Foods: Indian meat and vegetarian dishes that aren’t too hot, such as lamb rogan josh; chili; roast turkey or even Cajun deep-fried turkey; mole poblano; Asian meat dishes; dark chocolate; coffee/cocoa-crusted lamb or venison chops; roast duck with five-spice powder seasoning; braised oxtails or short ribs with some savory but not hot seasoning
