Natalie MacLean’s Wine of the Week

 Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant 2008 California, United States This wine is a blend of mostly syrah and grenache grapes, with some cinsault, mourvèdre and carignane grapes. I love the Bordeaux aroma I get first followed by cassis, blackcurrant and smoke, but most of all, fresh earth. Full-bodied and complex.
