We drank this with a great meal prepared by Glorious T: Crab corn chowder, a delicious chicken with wine sauce over Hungarian noodles and we finished with Bananas Foster. The Pont de Guestres proved to be a very food friendly wine.
We’ve been sipping quite a few Napa Cabs lately, so this was a nice departure. The tannins were dialed down, as you might expect with an ‘06, and it proved a great balance with its light acidity.
As the meal progressed, the wine opened up somewhat. It is quite dry with an elegant feel, certainly not in your face with fruit intensity. There was a mix of cherry and black fruit.
It proved a good dinner companion all the way until the last delicious bite of the Bananas Foster. For about $20, it was certainly enjoyable, but I kept hoping for more. The promise was there, but it never fully delivered.
