Enthusiast Red / Red
Wine 1: Beckman Cuvee Le Bec Red Blend
Notes of bright red fruits with floral nuances, complemented by hints of licorice, pepper, and spice. Sourced from five Syrah clones and three Grenache clones, the grapes were hand-harvested and cluster sorted, with Syrah receiving additional berry sorting for precision. Following a two-day cold soak to extract color and phenolic complexity, each lot was fermented individually with native yeast. Caps were manually punched down twice daily, with skin contact ranging from seven to eighteen days based on the lot. The wine completed spontaneous native malolactic fermentation in barrel, enhancing texture and integration. Aged for sixteen months in 100% neutral French oak barrels of 60, 70, and 80 gallons.
Blend: 50% Syrah, 38% Grenache, 7% Mourvèdre, 5% Counoise
Wine 2: Chateau Blaignan Bordeaux

While the term can sometimes refer to the broader Left Bank region, the Médoc AOC specifically applies to wines produced in its designated zone.Chateau Blaignan is attractive and is a true-to-type Medoc. This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of dried earthy notes, savory spices, and tart cranberries. Enjoy it with a lightly-spiced roast chicken.
