2011 Coquelicot Estate Mon Amour
About the Wine
“Mon Amour” signifies a devotion to a love of a classic Bordeaux blend, or at least that is how we translate this French proverb. With nearly equal counterparts of Merlot (36%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (34%), bolstered with a hearty amount of Cabernet Franc (19%), and spiced with Petit Verdot (7%) and Malbec (4%). This iconic estate blend has luscious
fruit expressions of raspberry, rhubarb, plum, white pepper, and pencil shaving aromatics. Fully complemented by a dusty, cedar, spiced, and baker’s chocolate mouthfeel. Silky caressing tannins coat the tongue on the long finish, giving you plenty of time to reminisce on one's affinity with great blends commonly found in the Bordeaux region, or simply just great love affairs.
36% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 7%, Petit Verdot, & 4% Malbec
Aging: 22 Months, 30% New Oak (20% American)
