Corvus Vineyards
Cruturk Bozcaada Red Bordeaux Blend
Bozcaada, Turkey
We tried this exciting Aegian wine at the Miklagard restaurant in Besiktas, Istanbul, and got to take two bottles of 2007 home. Thick dark red color; small red and black berries (some of which are raisinated), pencil shavings, spices, pyrazines, and well-integrated oak profile on the nose; tannis are still there on the palate and build up a powerful structure with the acids and ethanol, and it is almost port-like on the mid palate, and has a long satisfying chest-burning finish. Lamm filé on the grill with a red wine thyme sauce (made from an aussie shiraz). Very nice wine made from 93% Cab. Sauv. and the rest Cab. Franc.; the alcohol is 14.9% and the price about 75$.
