Les Vignobles Foncalieu 2009 Nom de Guerre Red (Saint-Chinian)

Country: France / Nom de Guerre
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: Les Vignobles Foncalieu / Saint-Chinian

For ten bucks, you really can’t go wrong with this Grenache-dominated blend. Purple florals and garrigue spice flood the nose, while fruity flavors of black cherry, boysenberry and blueberry keep things rich and juicy in the mouth. Well-balanced with dusty but supporting tannins and an integrated, oak-infused sweetness on the finish.
