White pepper and herbal nose
Nice texture on the palate
Thin, peppery finish
I always search out wines from Minervois, a region of the Languedoc in Southern France. This is a fast evolving wine region that is producing fun and interesting wines with Mediterranean grapes such as Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvedre.
This bottling isn't quite my style, with such a peppery and herbal composition. As a result, I don't recommend it. However, it was only $8 and I highly recommend sampling wines from Minervois in this price range to determine what you like. Raise a glass!
Great wine review and great area. For a comprehensive listing directory of winemakers and wine producers in the Languedoc, have a look at:
