Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant 2023
Bonny Doon Vineyard's Le Cigare Volant Red Wine of the Earth is a vibrant Rhône-style blend primarily featuring Grenache, Syrah, Cinsaut, and Petite Sirah from California's Central Coast, paying homage to the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape with its playful nod to the "flying cigar" UFO legend.
It delights with expressive aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, rhubarb, black pepper, and earthy herbs, leading to a palate that's fresh, elegant, and medium-bodied with lively acidity and smooth tannins. This approachable yet sophisticated red offers bright red fruit flavors balanced by subtle spice and tobacco notes, making it an ideal companion for grilled meats, charcuterie, or casual gatherings.
