Mission Codename Brad's Buddy

We don’t usually discuss celebrities on TWS, but we had to make an exception in today’s case. Famille Perrin has shot to fame as the partner of Hollywood Super Couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the creation of their popular Miraval Rosé. Today’s 2011 L’Andeol Rasteau might not have the blessing of Brangelina, but what it does have behind it is Five Generations of classic French winemaking.

Brooding ruby in color, today’s wine has beautiful mouthcoating flavors of braised red cherry, vanilla bean, and toasty cocoa powder. It also has a lovely pop of acidity that left a smile on the face of every member of our tasting panel.

Check out this video of winemaker Pierre Perrin discussing today’s wine:
