Wine Review: This was my favorite of the 2009 Flower entries from Duboeuf. It is bright ruby colored and opens with a very faint strawberry bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied, balanced, fruit forward, and smooth. The flavor profile is a very tasty blend of strawberry and mild raspberry. The finish is dry and its tannins are moderate and stick around for just a little while. This wine has elegance that makes it food friendly. I would pair it with a lightly seasoned pork tenderloin. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Intense color, varying between deep garnet and dark ruby. This Moulin a Vent is suggestive of both flowers and fruit, particularly violets and cherries. Well structured with moderate tannins, delicately spiced, it offers complexity and good length, elegance and harmony, power and velvet.
