2006 Pininfarina Napa Valley Vino Rosso

The 2006 Pininfarina Vino Rosso has the combination of structure and liveliness which are the hallmarks of a wine with a long time horizon. This wine tastes wonderful in its youthful phase right now, and should reach its peak between 2012 and 2016.

Optimal food pairings include filet of beef, New Mexican pot roast with roasted peppers, currants, cinnamon and clove. Another great combination is the traditional Milanese veal osso buco, served with a saffron risotto.

Varietal Composition: 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec, 5% Syrah $55
