Stunning wine...
2010 Puydeval Rouge...$14.99
This has become one of my favorites over the past 3 years since we started stocking this wine. This is our 3rd vintage with this producer and the wines just keep getting better each year. It is a blend of 62% Cabernet Franc, 28% Syrah, 10% Merlot from 25 year old vines. What a different and amazing blend!
A distinctive blend crafted by winemaker Jeff Carrel, Puydeval is based on Cabernet Franc, which thrives in the cooler microclimates of the generally hot Languedoc region of Southern France. This iconic, eponymous, and admittedly unusual wine has quickly gained a fervent following for its originality and for delivering outstanding value.
Tasting Notes: Big, rich, concentrated and intense. A ripe, polished and well-balanced wine, offering spicy aromas of black cherry and blackberry, with hints of anise, and just a touch of earthy character.
Serve With: A truly original red, it will complement most meals, especially pizza, elaborate burgers, grilled portabella mushrooms or lamb kabobs.
