PROVENCE | FRANCE | $36
Ripe dark berry, plum and black cherry fruit fused with notes of cedar, organic soil, dried mushroom, eucalyptus and stone minerals. Medium bodied, fruit forward, well-balanced and moderate 13.5% alcohol (wonderfully French). A perk of natural acidity on the finish matches a robust meal well. A real charmer; on first meeting, it’s as if you’ve been friends for years. Mourvedre, Grenache and Cinsault. A very good wine. (Reviewed 4/9/11)
