Languedoc Cabrieres Rouge, 2020

This Kermit Lynch Selection is from the Languedoc but offers up some of the best qualities of both Northern and Southern Rhone. It is 55% Syrah, 35% Grenache, 7% Carignan and 3% Cinsault.

Bright, medium deep crimson. Thanks to the high elevation vineyards, where days are warmbut nights are cool, the Syrah has Northern Rhone traits featuring black fruits and Provencal olives. But this is countered by Grenache red fruit and Southern Rhone garrigue. Bright acid-driven fruit with the finesse of a serious wine. Noticeably better than the last bottle we had in July, 2023.
