Chateau de Pitray 2009 Premier Vin

This is a wondeful wine displaying a deep garnet color in the glass. On the nose there is a complexity of aromas reminiscent of black fruits (black cherry, blueberry, blackberry) along with accents of cedar wood. On the palate the flavors are similar to the nose.  The medium+ tannin provides the structure and the mouthwatering acidity gives the wine a refreshing quality. The finish is clean with lingering elusive black fruit and cedar notes. There is a lot of value in this bottle.  Serve at 55F or 60F.

Food & Wine: Cheeses such as Sharp or Extra-Sharp Cheddar, Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino-Roman.  Generally a medium weighted dish.  Grilled or Roasted Chicken, Duck. Grilled or Roasted Lamb, Pork or Beef also pair well.

Approximate Retail Price: US$15.00
