For the "who knew" file: "Thief in law," from the Russian "vor v zakone," is an authoritative individual within the Russian criminal world -- the elite of the Russian world of organized crime. It is now also yet another rather delicious wine from Mouton Noir - the same proprietor who brought us Montgomery Place, Andre H. Mack.
According to the website, "A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this right-bank inspired blend shows high-toned aromas of blackberry, black raspberry and bitter chocolate." To my palate this is a full, rather than medium bodied wine, but there is no doubt about the dark fruit, semi-sweet cocoa and mild peppery notes to be found here. Looking for something similar to Switchback Ridge and Merus, for a fraction of the price, and this is the certainly worth a five fingered grab.
Just make sure you pay for it on the way out.
