Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Just south of Switzerland lies Italy’s mountainous Trentino region. While the region is mostly known for white and sparkling wines, it also produces plenty of fascinating reds using both international and indigenous varieties. The “4 grapes” in this cuvée are Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and the local Lagrein variety. Expect this medium-bodied red to feature soft rich black fruit, chocolate and toasty characteristics balanced by bright acidity and refined tannins. My note: Beguiling notes of black fruit, pencil lead, cigar box, smoke and violets. Polished tannins give this wine an excellent framework. A satisfying, cassis-infused finish. Food matches: roast beef au jus, beef en croule, blue cheese, roasted eggplant, black pudding, tacos.

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!
