I think people miss the purpose of this wine when buying it. It may be a fruit forward style of wine, but it shouldn't be confused with a wine not meant for food. It has a fragrant nose of dried violets, dried provencal herbs, and mulled dark berries. The pallet is medium in feel and medium plus in acidity, tart casis fruit, black peppercorn, and a light finish. Pairs well with smoked salmon tartines, or brisket. For a 2009 it has a great balance.

Not bad tasting. Drinkable. Very fruit forward. However not worth the price.

It was good with cheese and biscuits fruit and prosciutto. It was less good with steak but still tasty.
