wine
Our flagship white and red Cigare wines, plus a bottle of the
newest edition of the exquisite dessert wine Le Vol des Anges, in a
pack that's ideal for entertaining parties of eight to ten. The
suite includes two red, two white, and one dessert:
2008 Le Cigare Volant
Varietal Blend: 45% grenache, 30% syrah, 13% mourvèdre, 7%
cinsault, 5% carignane
Our 25th anniversary bottling of Cigare. Rich black fruit flavors
with a discreet spiciness. Tannic and meaty in the lower registers;
peppery, fruitful and delicately floral in the top, all the while
showing great balance and harmony. A very particular fragrance of
flowers and aromatic herbs, and even notes of earthy stone.
2011 Le Cigare Blanc
Varietal Blend: 62% grenache blanc, 38% roussanne
Pale gold with green-gold highlights, with a very strong impression
of melon, along with Asian pear, pineapple and grapefruit pith, and
in the mouth, very rich, sporting a certain modicum of tannin; this
bodes exceptionally well for great longevity.
2011 Le Vol des Anges
Varietal Blend: 60% grenache blanc, 40% roussanne
Rich, fragrant, and honeyed with ethereal suggestions of quince and
Asian pear, in 2011 we were favored with prodigious levels of
botrytis in the grapes of the Beeswax Vineyard, in the Arroyo Seco
appellation of Monterey County, resulting in a sweet wine that
soars beyond one’s wildest gustatory imaginings.
