Potelle Two Red

The History

Chateau Potelle was born when we moved from France in
1980, to be part of the California winemaking adventure. We
wanted to be creative in making wine rather than being con
strained by the years of traditions that existed in France. At
the beginning, we found California wines to be too ripe and
rich, very bold, and way too oaky. Soon we realized that a culinary revolution was taking place! The food that was being created by the young American chefs was more delicate and refined – the ingredients were respected and celebrated. The
marriage of quality and simplicity eliminated the need for the
“gravy” cover up. In food and in wine, less is more. Alas, we
were on the same page!

The Grape

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Zinfandel, 9% Syrah & 4% Merlot

 

Tasting Note

In the mouth the wine has a nice structure, the weight is good, it sits well, it is round and ample but it also presents a nice suppleness that balances the structure and ensure earlier drinkability. The finish is very long.
