Road 13 Seventy Four K 2011

My St. Patrick's Day choice is Road 13 Seventy-four K ! Road 13 winery has such a sense of humour about it with the crazy castle wine tasting building that perhaps there's a touch of the blarney somewhere there! Seriously though, I really like Road 13 wines which are made with great care and attention to the soil, the vines and the wine making process. 74K has classic damson plum flavours and I find a touch of chocolate there too. Very enjoyable and smooth to drink. With the structure and texture of this wine it can easily accommodate a meatier meal and I served it with Moussaka - the classic Greek lamb, aubergine, potato, tomato and garlic dish covered with a Mornay sauce. A great pairing with the charm of the Irish!

Lesley Quinn rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This unique blend of Merlot, Syrah, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Mourvedre make this wine extremely easy to drink. The flavours of plums, blackberries and violet make it a treat to drink. The wine has very little tannins, so I would try pairing it with a mild dish like a creamy pasta with prawns and mushrooms in it. Or use it to celebrate a birthday like I did, and drink it on it's own.
