-Wine Pours of Note-
Jean-Luc Colombo Cape Bleue Rose 2009
Vin de Pays de Mediterranee
Colombo is one of the most acclaimed vintners of the Rhône Valley and Provence. This rosé from a promontory overlooking Marseilles, from a blend of 40% Syrah, 40% Mourvèdre, and 20% Counoise, shows a light pink color; raspberry, cherry and strawberry aromas; flavors of peach and strawberry leading to a crisp, dry finish.
Cantele Primitivo Salente 2006
Puglia, Italy
Negroamaro grapes are use in the south of Italy largely for blending and providing structure. While traditionally a rustic, earthy grape this Cantele provides a brighter old world experience. Light plum and spice bring levity to the mouth feel and an engaging drinkability to the glass.
