[Wine Tasting, Vineyards, in France] Wine Tasting, Vineyards, in France: Caviste Tasting: So, Chistophe and his associates now receive on a regular basis outstanding artisan vignerons in their small wine shop on rue Sainte Marthe and each time, the place is packed with passionate wine lovers, many of them 20 to 30 years old by the way (hints that some young French people are eager wine lovers). The first time I dropped there was when he received Sébastien David, a vigneron from Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil in the Loire, and I alas couldnt stay long, being busy with other important duties that evening.

[Virginia Wine Time] Virginia Wine Time » Blog Archive » Winery At La Grange: So on to the red wines with gold stars in hand. My award went to the 2007 Meritage with its characteristics of dark plums and cherries with tobacco and cedar on the nose. Tannins were definitely present here, so drink now but feel free to age this one for a while. This Meritage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec—a true Bordeaux-style wine. It was aged for 14 months in both American and French oak barrels. The 2007 Merlot received Pauls award. The Glebe Vineyard produced the grapes for this American-oak aged Merlot which presented flavors of currants and black pepper. Paul detected some tobacco on the nose, too, and he noted that it finished “smooth.” For a truly bold wine, try the 2007 Tannat with its dense core—dark plums and cherries with a spicy edge, I found it to be “chewy”. Drink now if you must but decant before drinking and be sure to pair with a steak. (Now Im hungry!)
