2021 Our Lady of Lourdes: A Testament to Faith and Terroir

The 2021 Our Lady of Lourdes is a profound expression of Knights Valley, crafted from the exceptional fruit of Pelkan Ranch Vineyard. This renowned site, which also supplies Cabernet Franc for the acclaimed Cabernet FRANCis, is known for producing wines of remarkable depth and complexity. This vintage embodies elegance, structure, and a lasting sense of place, making it a standout choice for spring gatherings and refined dining experiences.

Tasting Experience:

This deep ruby-hued wine opens with an inviting bouquet of black currant, ripe plum, and delicate violet, offering a graceful yet layered aromatic profile. The palate is rich and expressive, revealing succulent blackberry, cassis, and mocha, beautifully accented by notes of tobacco and baking spices. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while a balanced acidity ensures a smooth, lingering finish. With a plush texture and an evolving complexity, this vintage is as captivating now as it will be with further aging.

Spring Pairing Suggestions:

The depth and structure of this 2021 Our Lady of Lourdes make it a versatile pairing for elegant springtime dishes. Its richness enhances braised short ribs, herb-crusted lamb chops, or a classic beef bourguignon, bringing out the wine’s layers of dark fruit and spice. For a vegetarian pairing, enjoy it with wild mushroom risotto or a roasted root vegetable medley, where its silky tannins complement the dish’s earthiness. A perfect match for aged cheeses like Gouda or Manchego, this wine shines in intimate gatherings and festive celebrations alike.

Accolades:

"Dusty cocoa powder, lavender, and crushed cherries dominate the nose of this deeply colored wine. The palate adds in layers of kirsch, black pepper, and tobacco before a plush and tannic finish. Give this wine a few years in the cellar, then enjoy with a coffee-encrusted ribeye." – 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
