Left Bank

Left Bank Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our 2007 Left Bank is a traditional red Bordeaux-style blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon (Tranquility Vineyards), 29% Merlot (Bella Luna Vineyard) and 4% Petit Verdot (Springlot Vineyard) grown by Ben Renshaw, Doug Fabioli and John Everson, respectively. The blend was assembled in the winter of 2007 and then aged in 33% new and 67% older French oak barrels for 20 months. The resultant wine exhibits flavors of blackberries and black cherries with some coffee and chocolate undertones married with layers of toasted oak. Our Left Bank would go nicely with marbled rib eye in a peppercorn sauce, steak tartare and horseradish, venison and peppered lamb with mint chutney.
