Les Baux-de-Provence, Provence, France
Unmistakably Provençal in nature. Both the nose & palette are rich with dark fruits and wild savory herbs. There's an element of Southern Rhône funk in there but the youthfulness of the tannins and the fruit led by the Grenache give the wine lift and spirit. Wonderful essence of lavender. A fun wine with value to match.
35% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carignan

Jul 7th, 2018Opens up a lot after some time in the glass. Cherries, plums, and white pepper on the nose with a bit of hay / barnyard funk. Medium bodied. Mild acidity. Cherries and some minerality on the palate.
