Terre Rouge, Enigma

[Innkeeper]

2002 Enigma ($20 but less with Fall Sampler). This one checks in at 43% Marsanne, 34% Viognier, 23% Rousanne. Alcohol level 14.5%. First one we have had in a very long time. Never even guessed at the alcohol level until we looked. This fine is so full, it absorbs it completely. Still ranks up there with the best white wines we have ever had.

Gives you flowers, ground almonds, and rich fruit such as apricot on the nose and upfront. Large, rich, and full complexity across the palate, and the finish lingers almost forever.

Matched it with our Scallops Morney and salad in blue cheese dressing. The scallops marched mano-y-mano with this wonderful wine.
