Description
Frane is representing 4 countries with his Quattro Euro. He lovingly refers to it as the European Union: Germany with 28% Dornfelder from Lodi’s Mokelmne Glen, Spain with 16% Tempranillo from Don Miguel’s famed Sebastopol vineyard, Italy with 28% Sangiovese from Santo Giordano’s Sonoma Carneros vineyard, and France ties it all together with the 28% Merlot from Alan Foppiano’s Dry Creek Valley vineyard. A bouquet of sweet red fruit and moist tobacco dominates the nose, leading to ripe boysenberries, black plums, and a violet, cedar character at first sip. Intense black fruit, layered luxuriously with mixed earth notes, mingle playfully with this full-bodied personality. An aftertaste of black tea and Mayan chocolate lingers on the finish. Pair with Moroccan Skirt Steak, Hungarian Goulash, mild Indian curries, and macaroni and cheese. Aging: 5-15 years
