Pindar Vineyards Pythagoras Red Blend

Named after the famous Greek mathematician, the Pindar Vineyards Pythagoras is the winery’s premier Bordeaux-style red blend. This estate-grown wine is a masterful calculation of the North Fork’s top varietals, typically combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. It is designed to be a sophisticated, "intellectual" red that balances power with the elegant structure for which Pindar is known.

On the nose, Pythagoras offers a deep and complex aromatic profile of black cherry, cassis, and plum, seamlessly woven with notes of toasted oak, leather, and a hint of tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and well-integrated, featuring firm yet velvety tannins that provide a sturdy backbone for aging. Layers of dark fruit are complemented by savory spice and a touch of earthiness, leading to a long, polished finish that reflects its time spent in French oak barrels.

This is a quintessential "dinner party" wine that demands a hearty pairing. Its robust structure makes it an ideal match for prime rib, grilled ribeye steak, or roasted leg of lamb. It also pairs beautifully with rich, earthy flavors like wild mushroom ragu or a selection of extra-aged Gouda and Sharp Cheddar.
