Dark in color, with a pretty nose of black plum and red currant and berry that echoes and expands on the medium full to full bodied palate with a solid earthy anchor and excellent structure. A nice all around everyday CdR that shows neither any weaknesses nor any great strengths; it does exactly what it’s supposed to, and that’s fine by us. Made from fruit sourced from Perrin’s vineyards at Grand Prebois and Vinsobres, as well as from leased vineyards and purchased grapes and wines; fermented and matured mainly in tank, with 25% in casks, then fined with egg whites and bottled. A Winebuys.com staff favorite!
