Without the hard
tannic structure found in many red wines, it pairs well with a wide range of foods — from fish and game birds to grilled beef and lamb.
The palate impresses with great concentration and an impressive
tannic structure, but the tannins remain lithe and velvety, allowing the wine to expand on the palate without any feeling of heaviness.»
«Its ripe black and red fruits,
tannic structure and herbaceous notes tend to brighten up already hearty and rich dishes,» says John Mitchell, sommelier of The Grill Room in New Orleans.
Why it works: «These braised venison cheeks beg for a wine with a good
tannic structure, and a Cabernet Sauvignon will prepare your palate for the next bite,» says Ivo Couto, Triomphe's food and beverage manager and wine director.
The finish is long with lingering
tannic structure.
