Department 66 Others Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes Red Blend 2018

$24.99

                 OTHERS is the new release from Dave Phinney's new winery and vineyards in Maury, France. Others is a literal and figurative reference utilizing fruit beyond the D66 blend. Chosen for their unique signature, these vineyards are stylistically meant to be drunk earlier, thus resulting in a powerful yet approachable wine. As is the case with D66, small yields are the norm because of extremely rocky hillside sites with scarce water reserves. This dynamic creates small berried fruit with intense color and concentration. Situated in the foothills of the Pyrénées-Orientales, Others is made at the Department 66 winery. The Others 2018 Proprietary Red has a ruby, purple opaque hue with aromas of licorice, spring flowers, campfire, toast and sweet vanilla. On the palette there are abundant flavors of blackberry, wild berry, pepper and spice. Intense and concentrated with a persistent finish, the wine is ready to drink now and enjoy over the next 5 years. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan

Blend of Grenache, Carignan, Syrah & Mourvedre, deep Ruby with aromas black fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry with notes of cacao, spice and earthy notes. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, great mouthfeel (15.2 ABV), ending with fruit and earthy spice, nice!

Blend of two thirds Grenache with the balance a blend of Syrah, Carignan and Liedoner Pelut. Dark ruby color with a pronounced garnet rim. Aromas of dried black fruit, forest floor, prunes, tomato leaf and wet slate. Bold flavors of red, black and blue berries, dark chocolate, black tea, Asian spices and cola. Long, plush and generous finish. Medium tannins and Medium-plus body. High acidity and noticeable (too much) alcohol (15.5% ABV). Slightly syrupy texture. High intensity, power and complexity. Better with aeration.

A really great choice for a wine with our apple-onion (not pickle) pizza at Marble+Rye. A little air, and it was delicious.
