50% Grenache blanc, 35% Rolle (vermentino), 15% viognier and no oak! A masterpiece of fruits and personality. — 2 years ago
Popped and poured; consumed over two days and the best was Day 2. The wine appears deep ruby with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity. Medium intensity on the nose with blue and black fruits, deli case, purple flowers, smoked meat, olive brine, black pepper and baking spice. On the pallet, the wine is dry with a mixed fruit set: ripe red, blue and black fruits in abundance with Herbes de Provence and baking spices. Long saline finish, medium+ tannin and acid. The Syrah plays a very strong role despite Grenache being the dominant variety in the blend. — 4 years ago

Even better balanced than in 2018! More mature complexity coming through and long finish. — 6 months ago
Aroma on this one is much more subtle on the fruit instead embracing dessert flavors of vanilla, chocolate, and butterscotch (maybe a subtle hint of diacetyl). Some oak aromas ground out the deserts. Lots of cocoa on the palette and with mild subdued tannins and a light acidity on the finish. — 9 months ago
Beautiful full bodied wine. Not sure what this is in terms of grapes. Excellent cherry and beautiful plum. Round and low tannin. Gorgeous and beautiful ending. — 4 years ago

The bottle and label certainly look ‘Prestige-ious’. Glass is embossed with the rams head crest. It was $4.99 at Gross Outlet though. Color is nice deep red rose petals with a little red-orange edge. Aroma is French wine. Cellar where the wine hangs out and lingers mixed with a zingy herbal/wood oil of some sort. Maybe some curry spices. Or dill? Flavors are woodsy and forestal. Berries too, but like your having them in a pile of fresh chipped bark. Little blackberry pie or mulberry sorbet on the finish. This is a great deal of a wine for 5 bucks. Maybe not exactly as prestigious as other reds in France, but it is a nice weekday supper, sipper from the south. Prestige of Languedoc… — 5 months ago
