Meza Wine Club: February 2025
Discovery Red / Red
Wine 1: Borsao Cabriola Red
A beautiful blend of Garnacha, Syrah and Mazuela from low yielding vineyards of different ages and altitudes in the Campo de Borja appellation in Spain. The so-called "Empire of Garnacha", Campo de Borja is a wine region whose flagship grape is grown at a range of altitudes here, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and another 12 months in bottle. Elegant ruby and garnet background. Aromas of fresh red fruits, some ripe fruit and subtle hints of wood. Sweet tannins and long, intense and very balanced aftertaste. Pair with red meat or a charcuterie board.
Wine 2: Chateau de Passadieu Cotes du Bourg Bordeaux
The wine has rich black fruits, dark in color from the Malbec in the blend. It is fully structured, ripe with tannins that are beginning to soften. This is a fine wine, solid and ready to age further. Purity and freshness of fruit are the hallmarks of this attractive offering from the Bourg. A Bordeaux that impresses with notes of plums and black pepper, and refined texture on the finish. Bordeaux is a classic wine to pair with robust cheeses or braised beef or stew. Perfect for these last cozy winter days.
