Item Description
2008 Cigare Volant Normale Magnum Winemaker Notes: Cool earth is the first thing you smell when you open a bottle of the 2008 Cigare Volant, followed by the comforting fragrance of peppermint and raspberry. Tasting the wine, one is struck by its bright acidity and black fruit; mulberry, cassis and black raspberry; coupled with a discreet earthiness (telegraphed, as it were, in the nose). The tannins are gentle, but the wine still possesses a strong upright spine; every element stands in very exquisite balance. Utterly delicious and approachable now; especially brilliant with game, lamb and roasted meats; the wine will undoubtedly repay bottle aging for many (10-15) years hence. Varietal Blend 45% grenache, 30% syrah, 13% mourvèdre, 7% cinsault, 5% carignane Vineyards 32% Alta Loma (in transition to Biodynamic®, received certification in 2008) - grenache 24% Ca’ del Solo (Certified Biodynamic®) - grenache & syrah 18% Bien Nacido - syrah 18% Gonsalves - mourvèdre 4% Chequera - syrah 4% Woock - cinsault
