A delicious field blend grown in the stony soils of St. Jean de Minervois, somewhere in the hills between Minerve and St Chinian. (Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Mourvedre, Terret, Grenache and counoise, to be exact...) Hand harvested, foot-crushed, organically-grown grapes from this over-achieving 6 hectare estate. Medium to full-bodied with intriguing black fruits and garrigue spices, supple and soft on the palate but with balancing acidity - a great value for any hearty foods or for sipping by itself.... Bravo to Nicole and John for making such a lovely and affordable wine!

Counoise, a grape used for blending in Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the star in this lovely Vin de Pays. The aromas are surprisingly deep and intiguing - ripe cherry and red currant with floral notes. The palate is medium-bodied and balanced with a clean if not super-long finish. This great value is very food friendly - serve a little bit cool... DL
