pillars of hercules

Blend of strong, masculine grapes (Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, Teroldego) from the Dunnigan Hills AVA in Yolo County, Calfiornia.  East of Napa, the rolling, hilly landscape is full of red gravel and the climate is ideal for grape growing with cool evenings and a long growing season.  "Pillars of Hercules" is a brand new effort from Matchbook Wines, owned by the Giguiere family.  It's full of dark blue fruits, chocolate and well-integrated oak with spice + vanilla running full from the nose to the palate.  Pair with bold foods + BBQ.
