Berthoud "Ursus" Sonoma Valley 2002
A remarkably old world style Bordeaux blend from Sonoma. All five of the Bordeaux varieties are utilized. (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.) Open top redwood fermentation vats, a 19th century basket press and a no filtering or fining produce a wine worthy of the name. Ursus is the latin word for Bear. Big and broad-shouldered, this wine will stand up to your heartiest dishes and this is more of a food wine than a drink alone. Why aren't these guys famous?
