Saint Chinian. From Vignoble Roger.
A blend of low-yielding Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Carignane.
Every time I enjoy a bottle from this appelation I ask myself the same question: "Why don't I buy more wine from here??"
Good, dark red color in the glass.
A "fun" nose: soft, smoky, quite tangy, spicy with rich and intense berry fruit.
Tangy acidity, spicy, cherry and raspberry fruit, with a hint of cranberry, red licorice, floral and a pleasing streak of bitterness to give it an extra edge.
Delicious and quite gulpable.
A bargain at $15.95 (Canadian).
