Winery Review

50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years.

My Review
The color on this wine was much lighter than the last red wine. I got a lot of berry scents on the nose of this wine which was very new and inviting for me. I even got a hint of blueberry on the finish which was delightful. The taste of this wine was much sweeter than the last red I reviewed, however it was just as bitter, if not a little bit more bitter. I did enjoy it though.

I did not eat food with this wine.
