| Wine Notes: | Yes, the winery is owned by legendary race car driver Mario Andretti. As the winery says, it is ironic that a man who made his living driving 200 mph would be devoted to something that cannot be rushed: winemaking. Our panel's tasting note: Deep ruby colour with aromas of cassis and black cherry. Dry, good aroma replays, some nice dusty tannins, medium full-bodied with a good 'grippy' finish. Food match: pheasant with a wine reduction sauce. (Source: Vintages, January 11, 2003 release) Wine Spectator comments on the 1997 vintage: A bit austere, but the flavors of black currants, herbs and toasty oak stand up to the dry tannins. Drink now through 2004. 2,600 cases made. (Source: Wine Spectator, October 31, 2000). |
