Tasting Notes
C'est Si Bon (It’s so good!), is made from grapes indigenous to the Rhone Valley in Southern France, yet very well suited to the terroir of the Sierra Foothills. This wine has delightful and intriguing aromas of dried raspberries, tangerine peel, white pepper and pomegranate along with hints of earth, leather, tarroir and garigue. On the palate, flavors of wild plums, vibrant raspberries, dried currants and a hint of minerality lead to a creamy, sensuous mouth feel and genuinely long finish. The 2006 C'est Si Bon is medium in body and amazingly well balanced with vibrant fruit, firm tannins and bright acidity. It has great depth, balance and finesse – and is way too easy to drink. This wine works amazingly well with all sorts of cuisine so use your imagination and enjoy. It really is so good!
