Today, I had this hankering for Filet Mignon…
So I bought me some…
And wrapped it in bacon!
I had another sample from Cornerstone Cellars, so I decided to break it out…
Color: Dark ruby-red to black.
Nose: Blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry fruit with a hint of leather, spice, menthol, and tomato skin.
Taste: Up front, there is this beautiful dark fruit component with a pop of red fruit. Think of blackberry and plum with a blast of cranberry. There are these awesome, velvety tannins that round this wine out beautifully.
Score: Fantastic! It’s not often that I refer to a $65 bottle of wine as a steal, but this wine can go toe-to-toe with the best of them. 93 points.
Back to the meal…
Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese and a Big Ass Baked Potato
The juiciness of the filet mignon amps up the black and blue fruit in the wine.
Very nice!
Stay Rad,
Jeff
