If I had this blind I would have thought it was a traditionally made (i.e., pre-Parkerized, pre-Cambie recipe-made) Chateauneuf, about 6 or 7 years old. Rich, minerally and garrigue -like nose.

Dusty earth. Dried cherry, strawberry, red apple skin aromas and flavors with notes of dried herbs and tomato leaf. Tart, fruity acids on the finish. Great on its own with a slight chill for summer, or with cured meats and semi-hard cheeses.
