Not a big blog tonight, but had to mention this one. 2006 Ferrer Ribiere Empreinte du Temps Carignan Cotes Catalanes. And I didn't even type all the fancy words on the bottle. No wonder Americans are intimidated by French wine. This was another purchase from the restaurant/wine shop Palate. I think around $16.
100% Carignan and very good, apparently from 129 year old vines. Very lush, big fruit, blueberry especially. A little earth and spice. Long finish. Really nice. Not oaky at all, but had nice tannin. Took some time for Rachel to get used to the intense blueberry flavor, but she also recognized it was good stuff. This would be a great complement if paired with the right food, not that I know what that is.
