2012 --1/2 gaillac, 1/2 Syrah, 12.5%. Very appealing Southern French but much lighter frame. Fine grained tannins. Not goopy. Skurnick imp, & I see why.

For $10, I've had worse. This mix of Duras and Syrah makes no sense. The spicy Duras rustic wine is unbalanced by the Syrah, leading to a flavor mess. At least it is a pleasant wine still, at a very low price point.
