Marquee Red Rhone Blend Classic Gsm 2006

Winemaker's Notes:

COLOR Deep Mulberry Red / Garnet PALATE Exploding with red berry and dark cherry flavors, this blend has an undeniable essence of smoke that adds to the surprising depth and long finish. A smooth red wine for all seasons. BOUQUET Raspberries and tobacco rolled together with a slight spice to tickle your nose. FOOD PAIRINGS Osso Buco, steak salad, grilled lamb, and tomato-basil sauce. WINE DETAILS Winemaker - Keith Brien 13.9% Alcohol by Vol. 3.55 pH 5.9 g/L Res. Sugar PRINTABLE MATERIALS Sell Sheet 2006 Marquee GSM - Wine Spectator Shelf Talker WINE NOTES Grenache & Mourvedre sourced from the famous Claire Valley in South Australia were artfully blended with Shiraz from Swan Hill, Victoria in this classic “Rhone Style” red blend. Matured in French oak, additional Grenache was used to keep the style light and lithe, yet complex.

Marquee:

In order to provide high-quality, trusted products for US consumers, Marquee decided to go down in quantity instead of up. Marquee falls under the category of Artisan wines because all of its products are small-batch, hand-crafted products. Some companies from Australia (and other parts of the world) create wine in 1,000,000 liter fermenters. THIS IS NOT MARQUEE. Marquee Artisan Wines are literally taken care of by hand, and are always a culmination of careful fruit selection, fine winemaking, master blending, and hard work! Marquee knows that people in America want products that are both high-class and high-value. The emphasis of the Marquee Classic line is to provide a house style that US consumers can trust and, in that house style, give consumers incredible value wines. Marquee is committed to ensuring that the Classic series is offered at an affordable price for savvy consumers. The Signature Series was created to meet the needs of consumers who want a highly selective sample of unique regional wine styles, still available at a great value. With this series, Marquee has emphasized sophisticated, premium products and highly attractive packaging at a reasonable price. Read less
