Alicante Bouchet
Can’t say I love this grape on its own merit. Perhaps I have had it in Sonoma on one of my Wine Adventures, however I have heard of it and as I refreshed my memory with some light research my eyes glazed over and I thought of an exceptional wine grown not far from here in these very hillsides…Alicante Bouchet, really? Why not champion Cabernet Franc or Tempranillo if you want to stand and fight. Or perhaps you were curious about an obscure grape variety and wanted a thumbnail on said grape. Sorry, It is widely grown in southern France, regions of Spain and hither and yon to no great effect. I will report back here immediately should a profound specimen one day be found!
Sorry, nothing to recommend.
