Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Maclura Cotes du Rhone 2019 Bottle:12 4% Cabernet Franc and 1%

4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot

I am not sure I have ever tasted a California Pinot this good for $40 a bottle

which enables winemakers to source the best parcels of fruit to produce consistently high quality wines from each vintage

Made from indigenous grapes grown on the Tenute Stra' del Milione in Friuli

or roasted squab are all fine pairings

Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Maclura Cotes du Rhone 2019 Bottle:12 4% Cabernet Franc and 1%A pleasant whiff of barnyard lends savory tones of earth and animal to crisp blackberry and plum flavors. It's an opulent, slightly warming wine with a plummy, voluminous mouthfeel that's vibrantly balanced by fresh acidity. The finish is moderately long, lingering on hints of sun dried thyme, lavender and grippy tannins.
