Terre Rouge 2003 Tete-a-Tete - Rhone Blends Red Wine
Red Wine by Terre Rouge from Sierra Foothills, California. Tête-à-Tête is our fun easy drinking assemblage of Mediterranean varietals (in 2003 - its 70% Mourvèdre,19% Syrah & 11 % Grenache). We blend it with current drinkability in mind, for drinking both at homeand as a restaurant pour. We generally put it together from our younger vines and our more forwardtasting barrel lots. 2003 was a year where most of our Rhône varietal lots excelled. Therefore this winedrinks like better than most Côtes-du-Rhône Villages bottlings: sappy, spicy, fabulous flavor, and greattexture. It is an eminently enjoyable everyday bottle. The 2003 has a deep boysenberry fruit suggestions,smoky/meaty/gamey complex flavor components that emphasize our terroir, and a lengthy creamytexture. Aged for 14 months in François Frères barrels. This is a great California wine value !
