This Rhone which is a Vin de Pays de Vaucluse presenting with a garnet/black cherry hue and a bouquet on opening that is a little vegetal with dried cherry on top with sweet cherry underneath with notes of prune and raisin. Pretty interesting...
Palate--finessed texture with currant and tight red fruit that needs to be decanted. Peppery foundation with harsh tannins. If this opens up and calms down, it could be a special wine at $13.
After giving it some time in a decanter there is the under layer of sweet cherry fruit that is gorgeous with woody, spicy dried cherries.
Palate--tannins are still a bit coarse, but decent fruit, some layers and for a $13 wine, raise a glass and grill that steak with it as I am doing at the moment. Ahhh, summer!
