Dinner Wine

This evening for dinner we had chicken Parmesan with pasta and red sauce. Warren selected the 2007 Vault Field Red to go with the meal. When we first opened the bottle we noted some big oak but we decided to pour it through the Soiree. The oak smoothed at at that point and the berry notes showed through. We noted blackberry, vanilla, and cherry. Warren picked up some black pepper near the end of the meal. We did not know the makeup of the wine but suspect if has merlot, cab Sauvignon, cab franc and some chambourcin. We thought it complimented our meal very well. If you visit Vault Field on the northern neck of Virginia, tell them Virginia Wine Time sent you.
