2019 vintage. Olivier Tropet's vineyards are mainly in the Roaix appellation, but he also produces a Rasteau. I don't know why this wine isn't labelled Roaix, maybe there is some Rasteau in here? Or maybe he doesn't want to use the Roaix appellation for his entry level Villages? This is a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 20% Carignan blend from organically (and biodynamically, certified since 2022) farmed grapes. — 13 days ago

Nose of black cherry, honeydew, and smoke(?!). Good black cherry fruit on the palate with medium acidity and lots of minerally bitterness. Typical provençal rose structure and weight with a kick of black cherry. — 6 years ago

Preparing for our adventure to Portugal Surdyks’ Recommendation:
(Douro) Portugal is a prolific wine country, best known for its sweet dessert wine - Port. World famous in its many styles, Port is sweet and fortified, prized for its rich flavors and lush texture. Portugal also has fabulous dry red wine. Dow’s “Vale do Bomfim” is made with the same grapes and sourced from the same historic Douro Valley that produces Dow’s great Ports. Portugal’s indigenous grapes – Tinta Barroca, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Cão – are names that should pique your interest and draw you to this imported discovery. Picked by hand and manually sorted with great care, the grapes are fermented in small vats. The resulting wine has complexity and style. Portugal’s Douro Valley has consistently good climate and growing conditions almost every year. The flavors are dynamic and the tannic structure is soft and silky. This is a really good wine for all occasions, with an affordable price and value.

Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of black berry fruits and pronounced spice notes, blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. On the palate ripe raspberry and blackberry flavors with notes of cacao, oak and vanilla. Medium finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit oak, and earthy tobacco character. — 7 months ago

Grenache rose. Pale pink, light, crisp, nice strawberry- like mouth. Cracked it to sit outside for a “warm” Friday afternoon. It almost hit 50! At least the sun was bright. — 8 months ago
