Parducci 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendocino County

 Risqué believes, in a world where mediocre and average are overwhelmingly the standard, twelve inches reigns supreme. This twelve inch bottle delivers the expected payback and more for your shrinking ten dollar investment.

These twelve inches strut a color of dark velvet red fading to a purple edge with impressive aromas of sweet spice, over ripe Bing cherry, dark currant, summer blackberries, hints of vanilla and soft woody notes of sandalwood. Coursing across the palate are supple leather, tantalizing cherry, dark concentrated cassis, and baking cocoa finishing with smooth round tannins.

Parducci is the first carbon neutral “green” winery in the US using solar and wind energy and bio-diesel fuel for farm machinery as well as partnering with three different companies to offset any additional nocturnal emissions.

Risqué would pair this rustic salami friendly vino with a mesquite grilled rosemary skewered Chicken Spedini and baby artichokes.

Call Risqué a “Size Queen”, but he would gladly hand over ten dollars for twelve inches… and so would any of his LUSHES! …and you know you wood!!!

Alcohol 13.5% ($10)
