Bonny Doon 2009 Le Cigare Volant Red (Central Coast)

Country: US / California
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Bonny Doon / Le Cigare Volant

There’s a bit more fruit—cherry, cranberry—and no dust to this Cigare compared to other Bonny Doon bottlings, but blacker aromas of asphalt and char persist. The blend of 36% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and 19% Cinsault delivers strong tannins and flavors of a black-and-blue filet mignon topped with a wild berry reduction sauce
