I could tell you this wine is awash in floral, savoury, black fruit aromas or that the attack is round and juicy with...

This is a solid, fairly dense, complex, organically grown red - surprising stuffing and complexity for $15. But I...

Black cherry, pepper, and spices. It has plenty of fruit but is a bit tannic.

A very solid, well made Roussillon. Dark fruits, hints of local herbs, pepper, and black olives. Tannin seems nicely integrated, providing just the right amount of structure. In short, all one could hope for in a modestly-priced southern French wine. Tasted April 2015 and re-tasted July 2016 with consistent notes - a lovely value.
