Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, I bought nnd enjoyed four or five cases of Southern Rhone wines every year. But imes and wine-making practices have changed. Today, this is one of only two wines from that area that offer me the same fruity intensity anx excitment at an every day price. (The other is the Ventoux from Famille Perrin that is available exclusively from Plum Market in Ann Arbor)..
Deep and dark red. Black and red raspberries, minerals, spice and black pepper. 60% Grenache, 20% Carignan, 20% Syrah. Carignan seems to add some color, spice and tannic structure but does not detract from the traditional flavors. Lots of black pepper on the mid-palate and finish. Plenty of acidity to keep it fresh and exciting.
