Winery review: "Brambly berry, cherry and raspberry, spices, blackpepper... all are present in this authentic French country wine. There are also some aromas of Garrigue (Rosemary, thyme, and lavender) giving a minty, herbal notes, that are quite refreshing as well. The wine is a perfect match with a nice rosemary marinated roasted lamb."

My review: This elegant red looks a plum / rose color. It's aroma is quite tantalizing with hints of blueberry, raspberry, and cherry, with a tease of black pepper. The black pepper is surely present on the palate but complemented perfectly a nice array of berries. Its body was rich and legs were stunning. This wine has character.
