Vintage Cellar Description: 50% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah.  Brambly berry, cherry and raspberry, spices, black pepper…all are present in this authentic French country wine.

My description: This wine had a predominant element of black pepper, which was visible on the nose as well as the taste.  I could taste blackberry in addition to the fruits described on the tasting notes.  This wine had round tannins, and a lingering finish.  I did not have this wine with food
