2019 Chateau de Pez 2nd Label, St-Estephe

From: St-Estephe, Bordeaux, FranceVarietals: 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot Taste & Critical Acclaim: Lovely, concentrated aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, black plum, licorice, and clove. These dark, sumptuous fruit notes meet spice and tobacco on the palate, all wrapped in elegance and showing off a chiseled, precise finish with fine-grained tannins. “The second wine of Château de Pez, the 2019 2nd Pez is impeccably made, offering lots of darker currant, black cherry, spice, and tobacco notes in its medium-bodied, supple, elegant profile. It's a solid second wine to enjoy over the coming decade.” —Jeb Dunnuck, 90 points (April 2022) Pairing: Château de Pez is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes as well as mushrooms, pasta, and cheese. Today, we’re going with a “scaled-down classic” dish: Simple Steak au Poivre by David Tanis. About. Found
