Tasting notes
One third each of Cabernet, Cinsault and Carignan, aged for a year in French Nevers oak barrels. Released in spring 2016. Mid crimson. Light, sweet start. For the moment it’s a little simple. Bright, ripe red fruit. Slightly burnt edge. Lots of tannins. Quite dry and youthful on the finish. Much longer bottle age needed. By far the most youthful wine in this vertical. (JR)
