Having dinner with my brother presents a wine adventure. He decided to waver from his favorite Camus Special Select and took a bottle of Roy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon to Bucci Ristorante in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. The bottle was opened and sat as we drank a bottle of 2002 Palmaz Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon with bread and appetizers. When the entrees arrived we turned to the Roy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. The first impression was the first nose. Smoke and wood gave way to fruit. You can notice layers of aromas and you need to take the time to enjoy the wine’s wonderful bouquet. The taste also had layers with fruit predominant. The tannins were light. This wine paired well with my entrée of fire grilled lobster and scallops and pasta in a red sauce. There was no fining or filtration of this wine. Although some consumers are wary, I like the aromas and tastes of wines that are not fined or filtered. It doesn’t bother me to see a bit of sediment in the bottle or even in my glass. This was an enjoyable wine to share with family and food.
