Wine

Rivarey Rioja 2007

Quite dark, the nose is smoky cured meats, new sawn oak and black currants.
There is some tannin in the wine but its mostly structural. On this frame is built a dark fruit compote with citrus juice squeezed on top to liven it up. No you don't taste lemon but the whole otherwise dark ripe flavor is lifted as if lemon juice had been squeezed onto it.

Food Pairings

Very versatile. The better cuts of lamb. Most any meat braised or stewed. Game birds and poultry, especially duck.
