Tenuta Sant´Antonio- Cabernet Franc 2007 Venezia, Italy


Tenuta Sant´Antonio- Cabernet Franc 2007 Venezia, Italy

Price 8 Euros

This was a gift from an Italian friend who wanted me to try a wine from his region.
Cabernet Francs can be very complex and this one did not disappoint, it had the rich body most Italian wines have and a very smooth finish which one tends to find in French Bordeaux.

Paired this with a steak bbq and it did the trick.

Chateau Haut-Surget Lalande-de-Pomerol / Bordeaux 2006



Chateau Haut-Surget Lalande-de Pomeral
Bordeaux 2006

Price 32 USD


In typical bordeaux fashion this bordeaux carries high alcohol content but unlike many french reds it has a medium body.
There are hints of currant and mocha.

This is a cabernet sauvignon-merlot and cabernet franc with merlot at 70% dominating this wine, the Pomerol region is probably the
most famous Merlot region in Bordeaux and this affordable bordeaux delivers with rich flavour.

Combines well with pasta and meats.
