| Craving a delectably unique cocktail? Try the Kir Catharine: pour 1 ounce of this Cabernet Franc Icewine into 3 ounces of a traditional-method sparkler, such as Pelham’s Cuvée Catharine Brut. TASTING NOTE: Lovely, intense nose of strawberry-rhubarb jam, sweet red grapefruit, cranberry sauce, pomegranate and rose petals. Ripe, sweet-and-tangy, with a juicy fruit core enlivened by bright acidity and a suggestion of tannin. Tasty, layered finish. Enjoy with cheesecake, with (or drizzled over) strawberry-rhubarb crisp, or if you’re feeling creatively festive, as a scrumptious filling in homemade chocolates. (Vintages panel, Sept. 2011) |
