Racines de la Terre

Opaque, deep, and dark with a maroon core and glinting ruby edges. Skinny legs retain the color of the wine as they sidle down the glass wall.

A true French Bordeax varietal on the nose, this wine smells like exactly what you’d expect from an Old World wine. Plenty of reduced, stewed dark fruit, with almost a cola note on the initial nose, trailed by lovely terroir notes of cedarwood, tobacco leaf, herbes de Provence, and a slight smoky quality.

A beautiful balance of dark fruit and earth on the palate, with a surprising and pleasant lightness. Braised blackberry and plum mingle with leather, freshly fallen leaves, and hints of aged oakwood, with just a kick of black pepper spice at the end.

Delicious now, but with plenty of room to grow, this wine has a long and lingering finish with well structured with velvety tannins. Throughout the finish, a wonderful sea salt minerality lingers through, hinting at the coastal heritage of the grapes.

Perfectly seared rosemary and thyme rubbed beef tenderloin, served alongside roasted root vegetables.
