Meinert La Barry Red 2011

A wine for every day that offers just that little bit more, I think. It has a lovely mid-palate fullness which belies its status, yet the finish is gentle and fresh. Good for simply drinking as well enjoying with a meal.

Good for simply drinking as well enjoying with a meal, such as carpaccio or even a sirloin with Café de Paris sauce.
