This wine is a blend of mostly Grenache and Syrah with
Mourvèdre and Cinsault in a supporting role, maturation for 30 months in oak
barrels and alcohol coming in at 14.5%.
A deep purple in color, this Rhône blend opened up with
aromas of blackberry, plum, garrigue, spices, meaty, peppery and light floral
notes. On the mouthfeel, a medium-full bodied wine with rich and concentrated
flavours, detectable oak influences, low acidity and fined grained tannins. This
wines finish is long, very smooth with spicy, fresh herbs and pruny flavours.
We enjoyed this wine, with several foods, cheese (oh my god, the blue cheese
from Vermont was so good), a charcuterie platter and it worked well. I think
that this wine would have been much better without as much oak, but overall,
very enjoyable, score 88 points.
As for my experience with Terroir Wine bar, I found it
to be a very cozy and charming space. A decent but challenging wine list, the
food was excellent, great small plates and very friendly staff. We actually
went there twice over our five night stay in New York. A great and inexpensive
way to enjoy a casual meal and I would go back tomorrow if I could, strongly recommended.
Enjoyed at Terroir Wine Bar at 413 E 12th
St. New York City restaurant price $67.00
