2021 JB Ameritage is our winemaker's tribute to the wines of Right Bank Bordeaux. This wine is predominately composed of Malbec, rounded out by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and finished off with Petit Verdot. The predominance of Malbec in this wine make it smooth and the soft, fruity flavors of blueberry, blackcurrant and cherry follow a nose of cassis and lavender. It finishes strong, much like a Petit Verdot with a dry lingering.
~When pairing with food, make sure to stay away from spicy foods - instead, look for dishes that complement the jammy, smooth nature of this wine, focusing on herbal and fruit flavors.
A chicken en Papillote is a great choice, but our personal favorite is a simple roasted tomatoes recipe - the flavors are mouth-watering already, especially when paired with our Ameritage! Roast duck is another classic pairing for this type of wine. The great thing about our Ameritage is that it complements so many different dishes, so definitely explore the pairing that fits your palate best!
