2002 Pomatia
|
Helix Pomatia's blend of Syrah and Bordeaux varietals pairs well with a diversity of meats: beef, pork, duck, sausage and even turkey. The Merlot's plum and herb dominate the nose along with a touch of Syrah's classic tar, melded with a wisp of roasted coffee. Thyme and a hint of rosemary spiral around blueberry, black currant and plum against a background and finish of cherry, espresso with a splinter of cedar. With a little breathing time, the herbs and tar evolve into a mellow black olive that integrates beautifully with the fruit.
