O’Vineyards 2007 Proprietor’s Reserve Red (Cabardes)

Country: France / Proprietor’s Reserve
Variety: Red Blend Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: O’Vineyards / Cabardes

Attractive and enticing, with aromas of dried red fruit and raspberry dust spiced up with notes of pepper, cocoa and toffee. Although grippy and somewhat sandpapery in the mouth, that firm texture lingers through the endless finish. Still young; try in 2012.
