1 | Wine | Red Bordeaux Blend, 2011

"Fleur de Lyeth’s proprietary blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and other Bordeaux varietals is crafted in the noble winemaking tradition of unifying the best characteristics of multiple grape varieties to produce a harmonious wine with balanced complexity. Lyeth has been a pioneer in the art of blending wines in California since 1981 and the elegant Fleur de Lyeth honors Lyeth’s long heritage with this lush wine. Well balanced, the wine coats the palate with rich flavors of blueberry and plum accented by subtle red fruit notes of strawberry and Bing cherry. With a medium body, firm tannins and a long finish, the 2011 Fleur de Lyeth pairs excellently with a grilled burger or hearty pasta."

"The nose opens with rich sweet fruit of blackberries, raspberries, and a hint of dark cherry. At first taste you are struck by the rich creamy texture that is accompanied by lush fruit accents. It finishes with an intriguing array of exotic spices. Smooth and elegant, this wine displays an amazing sense of balance from beginning to end."
