Winery Review: Brambly berry, cherry and raspberry, spices, black pepper...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 wine had a very herby, licorice aroma to it. Taste wise, the black pepper and spices were definitely present while the fruit flavors were muted. It also had a tannic finish which I did not like.
I did not have this wine with food,
