A terrific example of Corbières terroir at an unbeatable price. The wine, a traditional Rhône-style blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, is so loaded with aromas and flavors of the surrounding garrigue you might think that they threw in a bouquet garni during maturation. Sage, rosemary,menthol, thyme and bay leaves all abound while rich, dark fruit and oak aging…

Black tarry fruit aromas set the scene for a pungent, powerful, very southern wine. A blend of old-vine Carignan with Syrah, this is hugely intense, with big wood flavors as well as herbal, almost medicinal fruits. This needs time to age, over 5 years, but it is a powerful statement now.
