The 2015 vintage is our traditional blend of approximately one third each of Cabernet Sauvignon Cinsault and Carignan. Deep ruby color and an aroma of fresh hedgerow berries – bramble blackcurrant and cherry also more complexity coming through later with leather and delicate peppery-spice notes. The flavors are similar with some soft vanilla warming spice and a cocoa note. Fresh acidity and supple tannins make the wine a perfect accompaniment to richer fattiermeats like duck or a ribeye steak. Its a beauty of course a blend as of yore of Cabernet Sauvignon Carignan and Cinsault. It was fiendishly tricky vintage with a frost in April and a heat wave in September threatening local disaster. Indeed some 65% of Cab. Sauv. was lost. What little wine that was made though is glorious.
