Description

The 2015 vintage is our traditional blend of approximately one third each of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan. Deep ruby color and an aroma of fresh hedgerow berries – bramble, blackcurrant and cherry, also more complexity coming through later with leather and delicate, peppery-spice notes. The flavors are similar, with some soft vanilla, warming spice and a cocoa note. Fresh acidity and supple tannins make the wine a perfect accompaniment to richer, fattier
meats like duck or a ribeye steak. Its a beauty of course, a blend as of yore of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault. It was fiendishly tricky vintage with a frost in April and a heat wave in September, threatening local disaster. Indeed some 65% of Cab. Sauv. was lost. What little wine that was made though, is glorious.
