Oscar Darby 2015 Rustic Red Wine France
Varietal: 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc Vintage: 2015 Alcohol By Volume: 13% Region: Bergerac, France Winemaker: Barb Spelletich MSRP: $19.00
Imbuing the centuries-old traditions of Bergerac winemaking with a vibrant new energy, Oscar Darby is a fresh interpretation of classic French style. Crafted by Barb Spelletich, a winemaker renowned for her work in both France and Napa Valley, Oscar Darby is a fruit-forward Merlot-based blend that will add excitement to any meal or party.
WINEMAKER:
While Oscar Darby Rustic Red conveys the classic flavors of Bergerac Merlot, Barb Spelletich has taken advantage of the region’s other varietals to craft a blend that expresses a bright new approach. “Making wine is the same as cooking - you are looking for the balance, the nuances, and I predominantly focus on the smells and flavors,” explains Spelletich. “The wine must smell and taste like the fruit from which it is made.”
REGION:
A powerhouse of French winemaking since the thirteenth century, Bergerac’s limestone rich soil has allowed Merlot grapes to thrive in the area for hundreds of years. Located in the southwest corner of France along the River Dordogne, the area's excellent drainage and dry, warm summers are perfect for growing Merlot and Cabernet varietals.
TASTING NOTES:
Enlivened by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, Oscar Darby’s fruit-forward flavors are introduced with an aromatic rich berry nose and a lush mid-palate texture. Oscar Darby is intended to be consumed in its youth (within 2 years of bottling), to maintain its energetic style.
