Two years ago, the 2000 version of this wine was recommended in this space. It's a pleasure to report that Guenoc has maintained its high standards with this under-rated red varietal. This year's version is full-bodied and intense. It offers a complex mix of blackberry, chocolate, herb and coffeelike flavors. And while it's quite drinkable now, it shows every sign of being able to age for a decade. Serve with hearty stews, roast beef, game.
