Very pleasant french wine, with clear notes of berries and plum, and a slight sharpness to the structure. Good finish. Enjoyed with some good ol' fried chicken....hah! Can hear them french turning up their noses!

Red berries and floral on the nose. Rasberries, flint and mint on the nose. Strong floral and stem overtones. Nice moderate structure with long finish.

Note: This is actually NOT classified Minervois, but Vin de Table. (However, it would be otherwise impossible to tell the difference after consumption.)
Beautiful ruby-amethyst. Captivating nose of ripe fruit and marjoram and summer savory. Candied violet petal and trace of slatey minerality. A real winner on the palate. There is a muted presence of wood, but primary flavors include stewed berries, eucalyptus, smooth tannins and nice acidity. I really think this will benefit from a year or two of aging. At this price this wine is absolutely an excellent value.
