BRENDAN STATER WEST Saumur Rouge 2023 Bottle (Cabernet Franc) VGN, P.ORG

Description

The Brendan Stater West Saumur Rouge is a 100% Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley in France. This medium bodied red wine has a deep ruby color and a complex aroma of peppery just-ripe blackberry, sour cherry, and spice. On the palate, the wine is lush and velvety, with flavors of crunchy blackberry, plum skin, and a hint of earthiness. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and lingering.

This wine is a great choice for pairing with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, non-tomato pastas, earthy risotto or farro (see our pairing suggestion below) and rich, creamy sauces. It is also an excellent accompaniment to a variety of cheeses, especially those with a strong flavour. The wine is also a great choice for sipping on its own.
