Wine Blog: Matrot Monthelie Rouge 2014

Tasting Notes (6.11.2018)   Rating: 7/10   A light  bodied red wine. Dry in the beginning but subtle sweetness after it breathes. Tastes of cranberry and very sweet aroma of red fruits and rose. Possibly better with a light meal. Overall a pretty balanced red light red. I  can totally see pairing this with a thick, dry aged, bone-in ribeye with an herbed butter. Burgundy – although enjoyable, I still prefer a Cabernet Sauvignon. But I actually like this better than the  Côte de  Nuits  Villages Burgundy.   Summary   Winery   Matrot   Vintage   2015   Region   Côte de Beaune   Appellation   Monthélie   Regional styles   Burgundy Côte de Beaune Red   Food pairing   Beef  · Game(deer, venison) · V eal  ·  Poultry   Cost   $39.00 (paid $ 26.90) ...

Wine Blog: Enclos de Viaud Lalande de Pomerol 2015

Tasting Notes (6.17.2018)    Rating: 6/10   I got burnt out on Merlots. This is a good wine if you like them, but for personal taste I gave it a 6. The black cherry tartness stands out but there is sweetness behind all of that. This is a  well-balanced,  medium red full bodied wine. I suggest with spicy greasy heavy meals.  I can totally see pairing this with a thick, dry aged, bone-in ribeye with an herbed butter.    Summary   Winery   Enclos  de  Viaud   Vintage   2015   Region   Bordeaux   Subregion   Libournais   Appellation   Lalande de  Pomerol   Regional styles   Bordeaux  Pomerol   Vineyard   Aux Montagnes   Food pairing   Beef  · Game(deer, venison) · V eal  ·  Poultry   Cost   ...
