Mission Codename I read you
Wow, dear Operative. Just wow…
We are so delightfully surprised by this wine from our old friends at De Tierra Vineyards, who we first discovered back in 2007. Back then, we were enamored with their wines - but they never had enough for us to showcase any. Well, our persistence has paid off and De Tierra gave us special access to their cellar. We tasted through their range and we chose the superstar of the bunch, today’s wondrous, beautifully balanced, boldly flavored De Tierra 2008 Five by Five Bordeaux Blend.
Enjoy this hearty - and very highly recommended - wine with something to match its bold energy. A grilled steak or a hearty roast would be a great pairing.
