Corcelettes Cabernet Sauvignon - Syrah Menhir 2017

Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Menhir of Corcelettes, Switzerland, is iconic. It stands tall and proud near the castle of Grandson, where the Baessler family originates. In 2017 the Menhir red is a 57/43 cabernet sauvignon/syrah mix that would be at home in Australia. Menhir is aged for 18 months in French oak puncheons that reduce the overall impact of oak in the finished wine. The latest blend is a bold, spicy, savoury affair with cooked blacked fruits and a dusty, stony, dried herb finish. It needs time to gather itself, or serve it with grilled lamb chops.Tasted: 11 August 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
