Mas du Soleilla 2008 Les Bartelles La Clape Red (Coteaux du Languedoc)

Country: France / Les Bartelles La Clape
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: Mas du Soleilla / Coteaux du Languedoc

This velvety red blend of 75% Syrah and 25% Grenache is dark and heady but approachable and easily drinkable now. Boysenberry and black cherry flood the bouquet, accented by notes of purple flowers and cola. Balanced and lush in the mouth, the black raspberry fruit and peppery spice carry through to the long, evolving finish.
