Dry. Young. Fruit forward. Wow. Plenty of time on this. The Carignane holds this together. Very high QPR.

60/40 Carignan/Grenache...Opened as midweek foil for Filets and Bakers. Showing little sign of age... vibrant dark berry notes with noticeable ABV... bit more “modern” and fruit/forward than expected. Recall buying two of these at 50% discount. Probably at $15-20 a far price...but tasted fully “Parkerized”. Little if any sense of terroir or connection with place.

I'll come out with it: I love the Roussillon! This place has so much potential. Nine years old, this wine is so vibrant, with a nose of berries and licorice and earth and turpentine. There's a touch of steeliness that fortunately doesn't carry through to the palate, which is dominated by cherries and anise and tart acids. I love this stuff, and this area is only going to get better.
