Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Size: 750ml

2005 Bodegas Federico Paternina - Rioja Banda Azul Crianza

Varietal: Red Blend | Country: Spain | Size: 750ml

The Banda Azul Crianza is made from the most ancient vineyards of Paternina found at over 1,500 feet in La Rioja Alta. After initial fermentation, the wine was aged in small American oak barrels for 14 months. It spent another year in the cellar before release. Once you pour a glass, the lush, dark cherry nose combines with rich tones of smoke and black currant to give the wine superb balance and intense flavors of spices and black cherry. Enjoy it with roast chicken and classic red sauce dishes from Spain and Italy.

Owned by a family whose history in the wine business stretches back six generations, Thorn-Clarke has been producing high quality estate grown wines for over twenty years. The 2008 Shotfire is a classic example of Barossa Shiraz; rich and full bodied with a nose full of blueberries and blackberries that brings back welcome memories of a warm summer day. On the palate, it delivers a lush yet balanced mouthful of black fruit flavors and spices that pair perfectly with robust winter meals like pot roast with root vegetables, a rustic lamb stew or a classic cassoulet.
