Vina Montgras Organic Red Blend
Chile
LCBO code: 42725
Price: $14.95
Score: 91
Lamb pairs beautifully with a full-bodied red wine like this organic MontGras Carmenere/Cabernet from Chile. It has rich notes of blackberry, plum, and mocha. So it’s better for the planet and your palate. Chile’s natural geography gives them an advantage in organic farming – the Andes Mountains on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other create natural barriers against vineyard pests! I’d pair this with an herb-crusted rack of lamb that’s been slow-roasted until pink in the center, then finished with a rosemary-infused red wine reduction, served alongside roasted root vegetables caramelized to sweet perfection. The wine’s structure stands up beautifully to the richness of the lamb.
