Rioja Crianza, R. Lopez de Heredia "Viña Cubillo", Spain 2001
With Braised Duck Cannelloni and Green Garlic, Moscato Sauce. We also detected wilted wild arugula, foie gras foam, and candied orange zest. The cannelloni was filled with what I believe is duck confit and Seville orange marmalade. Overall a super-rich, heavy dish, which was paired with an extremely easy-drinking wine. The Rioja was aged in American oak and had flavors of orange zest (matching the orange on the foie), with currant on the nose.
