Bonny Doon Vineyard, founded by the innovative winemaker Randall Grahm, is renowned for its Rhône-style wines. Le Cigare Volant Rouge is a testament to this legacy, crafted with a blend of traditional Rhône varietals such as Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. The wine hails from the Central Coast of California, a region celebrated for its diverse microclimates and ideal conditions for Rhône varietals. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in both stainless steel and neutral oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop a complex flavor profile. Expect aromas of red berries, plum, and a hint of spice, with a balanced acidity and smooth tannins. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
