2017 Clos Apalta 20th Anniversary
48% Carménère, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot
Decanted for aeration..... minimal sediment... a joy to drink since my experience with high end Chilean is limited.... so well balanced as all great wines are ... beautiful blend of varietals....
2007 Mastroberadino Taurasi Naturalis Historia
100% Aglianico
A perennial favorite... rich vintage ... aged beautifully...such a classically delicious Taurasi... sourced from the Mirabella vineyard that was planted in 1972.
2001 Chateau Musar Rouge
Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault
Sort of a cult wine I always love to drink. This bottle showed well and exhibits a classic savoriness to the medium weight earthy dark fruit palate.
Paired well with the aforementioned pit-smoked meats... pork butt, pork ribs, beef brisket, turkey... accompanied by collard greens, grilled brussels sprouts and hush puppies.
