What a cool, odd duck. Trousseau Gris with skin contact from CA. Leans more toward red wine on the palate, with tons of red fruits and grippy structure. Wish Pax had made more than 33 cases. — 11 years ago

Los Pasitos Vino de Parcela Baboso Negro

9.1

Really cool wine from the Canary Islands. Grape is called Baboso Negro, which is Mencia (Galicia), Bastardo (Portugal) and Trousseau (Jura). More tannic than Trousseaus, but you can detect the lineage. Fragrant nose. Still had some acidity despite the heat of the islands. — 11 years ago

Pimenteiro Trousseau Tempranillo

Raymond Tosti

Bastardo, which is this varietal's name in Portugal, is known by 27 different names (the approved name in the USA is Trousseau). This varietal is perhaps one of the rarest red grapes in the country, with only a handful of winemakers producing this wine alone or in a blend. The budwood for these vines came from the El Gavilan Vineyard, planted in the 1890s, and obtained by grower Ron Siletto before the original vineyard was removed and replaced by new root stock and different grapes.

The 2009 Pimenteiro -- which means "pepper pot" in Portuguese -- has a bouquet of white and black pepper with a hint of blueberry. The long finish, full of plum and cherry, also has the distinct flavor of white and black pepper. This unusual wine is perfect for blue cheeses -- perhaps the most difficult food to pair with wine! Serve with any food that likes pepper: rib-eye steak, mushroom soup, butternut squash soup, grilled salmon, lamb, steak, cured paella, stews, and chocolate. — 11 years ago
