Sunday, July 1, 2012 - Bouchard, Chidaine, Urbans-Hof, Veglio, Seven Stones, Alban, Keplinger (My home): A dessert wine that is 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre. Ruby in color. The nose has some alcohol to it, also some raspberry jam and a bit of charred wood/smoke. Full bodied and viscous. On the palate, the fruit is not as prominent as I might have thought. Very easy to drink. Raspberry flavors mostly. Worked nicely with the chocolate in the dessert. A fine wine but $60 for 500ml is probably more than I would pay again.
