My recent "wine flight"

[Kcwhippet]

The cuvee de Pena isn't a Bordeaux. Here's Pierre Rovani's take on the wine.

"This cuvée is made specifically for the estate's US importer.
Produced from a blend of 60% Carignan (one-third of which is fermented using carbonic maceration, the same method employed in Beaujolais), 16% Grenache Noir, 13% Grenache Gris, and 11% Mourvedre, the medium to dark ruby-colored 1998 Cuvée de Peña reveals sweet black raspberry and blackverry aromas. This fruit-forward, somewhat rustic, and medium-bodied wine is packed with plums and assorted dark fruits."
