Domaine du Pegau 2010 Cuvée da Capo Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)

Country: France / Cuvée da Capo
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine du Pegau / Châteauneuf-du-Pape

This is a full-bodied, amply tannic red with an incredibly long, silky finish. It’s also rather animale in style, boasting intense leather and beef jerky aromas and flavors that are smoky and meaty, while hints of liniment and horse tack grow stronger toward the finish. One to try—if possible—before committing to a purchase.
