WTN: Villa Ponciago La Reserve Fleurie 2011

by Hoke » Mon May 12, 2014 11:47 am

Inter Beaujolais sponsored a superb 'tasting tour' of the west coast, visiting three cities to show off pairings of Beaujolais with three different cuisines. In Portland, seafood; in LA, Chinese; in San Diego, Mexican.

Here's one of the pairings from Portland, at Salty's on the Columbia

Bronzed Ahi Tuna and Fleurie

Salty’s Bronzed Ahi Tuna required a step up in body and intensity, which was no problem whatsoever for the Villa Ponciago La Reserve Fleurie 2011, a meaty red to match the meaty chunks of rare, seared tuna and a dollop of saturated cherry fruit, briskly assertive acids, and a touch of tamed tannins showing immaculate balance with the entire dish.
