Ansley Park Kroger (talk to April)
$25
Merlot 80%, 13% alcohol
The Lalande de Pomerol is an appellation directly north of Pomerol, very much in Pomerol's shadow. It is known as a great value region, and one that adds a rustic touch to its wines. The soil is well-drained gravel.
This wine was a knockout. I find myself gravitating towards the French and Italian styles, increasingly. They are rich and subtle even when big. The EPGTC tasting named this the favorite amongst the wines. It was also the first. But it produced an immediate reaction that made it hard to follow this wine with fruitier, new world varieties.
