AMANTI (Lovers)
Red Reserve 2009 (Bordeaux style with an American accent)
A blend of Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Zinfandel.
This blend is simply astonishing. After 30 months of barrique it’s still incredibly fresh and proud of its own floral heritage, yet it’s the fruit at its core that is most intriguing. Aided by the toasty oak, it has developed into a sour, hearty, and complex blend that will never cease to surprise your palate with warm waves of cherry, pepper, and violet, all spiced with cinnamon stick and perfectly mingled with a gentle tannin.
The finish is cutting and persistent, making the wine suitable for simple lean to fatty foods. Enough for stirred or grilled meats, blanquette de veau (veal casserole), chicken and roasted potatoes, and many pasta dishes.
