Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: A Gold Medal winner at the Concours des Grands Vins de France in 2007. Château Suau was built in the 15th century as a hunting lodge for the Duke d’Épernon. Today the only thing that is ‘hunted’ on this property are their well-respected wines. This is made with equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. My note: I’ve recommended this wine for a number of vintages because it’s consistently great. The dark red berries on the nose recede to reveal minerals, earth and dark spices. A lovely long finish. Food matches: roast beef au jus, prime rib with a cherry sauce, barbecued ribs, spicy chicken stir-fry, meatballs.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
