Wine: 2005 DelFosse Cuvee Laurent
Review: This is a unique wine that is a blend of 45% Chambourcin, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Franc. I first tried this on our trip to Charlottesville and liked it so much I took a couple of bottles home to age.
Surprisingly for a blend, this wine does not feel complex (compared to a Bordeaux or a Meritage). The wine had a taste of chocolate and cinnamon with a touch of strawberry and a soft finish very very few tannins. A really good food wine.
Price: $19
Grade: 90
