Louis Bernard 2011 Les Carbonnières (Gigondas)

Country: France / Les Carbonnières
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley

This starts off with scents of ripe black cherries and dried herbs, then turns more chocolaty in flavor on the palate. It’s full bodied without being particularly textured, and shows some coarse tannins on the finish. Drink now–2015.
