Well, I should confess.... we didn't drink the 2005 Concha Y Toro Marques Casa Concha Cabernet last night after all.... instead we opened a bottle of the 2005 Justin Justification... very nice. The food was straight out of the Morton's Steak Bible - Cajun Ribeye, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, The Morton's Spinach Salad, and Baked Potato.... of course, even when pairing down the recipes, there was way too much food - and just enough wine :)
The Justification, a blend of 64% Cab Franc and 35% Merlot is an unfiltered wine that blended perfectly with our meal. Without going into flowery details, the Justification was really smooth and bold enough to rise above the Cajun spices of the ribeye bite after drink after bite after.... well, until the wine was gone.
And after that? Well, we watched the Pacquiao/Hatten fight.... over in the 2nd round... but by that time, the Justification was gone and we had moved on to chocolate chip cookies and dove bar bites.... and we were finished.
