Domaine Sainte Léocadie 2007 Fernand Averoux Red (Minervois)

Country: France / Fernand Averoux
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: Domaine Sainte Léocadie / Minervois

A blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache, this wine offers both beefy and herbal notes among the more standard black raspberry and plum fruit flavors. Medium-full on the palate with a hint of sanguine character, this comes off a bit brighter and more balanced than one might anticipated from the bouquet.
