Domaine de la Crillonne 2009 Vieilles Vignes Red (Ventoux)

Country: France / Vieilles Vignes
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine de la Crillonne / Ventoux

Old-vine Grenache (80%, the balance is Syrah) aged in old oak casks has resulted in a wine textured like heavy cream or velvet, with the merest hints of vanilla and cedar to the cherry fruit. Lingers elegantly on the finish.
