Côtes du Ventoux, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Really digging this producer. I'm also really digging this 2017 vintage of Ventoux. Elevated acidity, however plenty of fruit to balance it out. Red cherry, red plum, potpourri, white peppercorn, and dried herbs. Went surprisingly well with spicy thai food, though it doesn't have much residual sugar which is what I'd normally go for. 12.5% alcohol, almost Pinot Noir in feel.
Looking forward to opening some of their Gigondas, which is what they're known for.

On the lighter side, 12.5% alc. balanced fruit and acid. Decent tannin. Serve chilled. Would be great with roasted chicken, mushrooms, or pork chops. Needs food for sure. Not quite as good as Brusset's Cairrane.

Deep ruby color with notes of black cherries and plum. Earthy and forest aroma as well. Medium Acidity with some tannins. A good wine, but not great.

2018 vintage. Decent wine for the price, but nothing I would buy again.
