Paradisos Del Sol Cabernet Sauvignon(2003)

It had something to DO with sheep. It must have! I'd be crushed if there were no connections between lambs in Bordeaux and plant breeding. Were sheep the leavening in the élevage of Bordeaux wines from Cabernet Franc-based pinkish claret to Cabernet Sauvignon-based rouge? What recipe required the creation of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety in 1600? I'll take the plunge . . . there was a lamb involved. 'Twas a conspiracy! A cuvee of shepherds and vignerons . . . Yes! Now I understand! My neighbor raises sheep and cattle, I make red wine. If I am eating lamb chops, beef steaks, read more...or wild goose, my first thought is a red with berry plummy flavors, some grip to balance the meat, plenty of depth of flavor . . . oh! It's in your hand!    (hide)
