Today, I enjoyed a glass of this Château Paradis "Terre des Anges " with a delicious bison ribeye steak.This wine is a French blend of 55% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. A little bright out of the bottle, it quickly eases into it's own with a concentrated, full bodied richness, exuding quite a bit of oak and dark berry.
The strong tannins and acidity make it an excellent match for strong, flavorful cuts of meat (such as the bison ribeye I paired it with) or rich cheeses.
The general consensus appears to be that this wine should age well over the next 15-20 years. At around $20-$25/bottle, definitely a keeper and one to cellar.
