Two More From France

Continuing our French theme this weekend, we’ll be pouring these two from France. Stop on by, try, and buy.

2012 Cave de Rasteau Cotes du Rhone Blanc    ($11)
60% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 10% Bourboulenc
A Rhone white with aromas of citrus and white-fleshed fruit and notes of flowers, almonds and menthol in a nice structure both full and fresh. 13% alcohol by volume

 
2012 Roc de Levrault Bordeaux ($10)
60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
A sturdy little Bordeaux from a 3rd generation wine making family in Entre deux Mers. Dark plummy fruit.
13% alcohol by volume

Madrona Wine Merchants offers free wine tastings featuring 4-5 selections on a theme every Saturday from 2 until the bottles run out and on Sunday we offer a mini-tasting of two wines all day from 11-5. No matter what day you stop by we always have something open to sample.
