  Bottled in 2015. Transparent bright red color. Pomegranate, wild flower, cranberry, candied cherry and some white pepper aromas. The nose reminds me of Domaine Drouhin's Dundee Hills Pinot noir 2013 even though the palate is somewhat different from it. As their basic wine, it is dilute, simple but clean, pure on the palate. What we can expect more goodness from this Vin de France class? Beautiful easy drinking wine. Especially if you are seeking alternative of Pinot noir or delicate Cotes du Rhone for daily wine at around 15$. A common wine of the master craftman, Sabon, from Chateauneuf du Pape. Alc. 13.5% (My score based on QPR)

  For a non-vintage vin de table, this is decent quality, quaffable stuff. Picked it up in early March and now drinking it just over two months later. It doesn't have a big nose, but it has a pleasing blueberry-floral aroma with a touch of generic spice. It has a bigger taste than anticipated. Lots of brambly fruit, with bits of blueberry, cranberry and luscious, sweet cherry, although the sweetness faded significantly after about an hour. What makes this quite interesting is the pronounced presence of earth, pepper, and bitter chocolate, along with a savoury finish. Roger Sabon makes lovely Chateauneuf du Pape, so it's great to see they also invest care into their everyday wine. The catch is it drank much better on the first night than it did on the second.
