This wine we paired with the wonderful home-cooking at Beth's house. She made chicken chow mein, beef and broccoli, rice and pot stickers. The sutter home was fruity, but not very dry. I thought it had a poor aftertaste, and personally switched to drinking the Blanc we had left over from the night before, But Beth and Kayla and Noah seemed to enjoy it.
Noah here! Like Shauna said, we paired this wine with an awesome home made meal of Chinese food! The wine itself was, in my opinion, excellent. It was very full bodied with a long finish that really, well, dried out the mouth. But it did so in a good way. The wine had mild flavors of dark fruit that were not overpowering. It had a bit of spice, but combined with the fruit, it made for an excellent wine.
When combined with the food (especially the chicken chow mein and Beth's home made "fortuneless" cookies) the wine complemented perfectly. Of course after a couple glasses of this and a couple glasses of the other 4 bottles we shared that night, it's had to recall all the details of this wine.
Overall, I was very impressed with this wine. Especially considering it was literally the cheapest red wine I could find at the Albertson's I picked it up at.
