Pair with White Beans and Sage

2004 Caiarossa Toscana IGT Italy
An unusual Italian blend of merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Alicante Bouchet brigns the best characteristics of Bordeaux, the Rhone Valley, and Tuscany together in one bottle. Not an easy feat, but upon tasting this complex beauty, one understands how all the components come together to equal a sum greater than all it’s parts. Smoky, deep, and rich aromatics reminiscent of plums, cherries, cocoa, and light vanilla oak commingle with gentle tannic structure and balanced acidity. Graceful and elegant but not a shy wine by any means, this one will stand up to rich meat dishes like lamb shanks, veal chops, osso bucco, and even poultry like goose and duck. Drink some now, and save a few bottles for the holidays… perfect.
