Côtes du Roussillon Villages Calandray Reserve Grenache-Syrah

A nose of oiled cured cumin olives.

The wines grace deserves to be chilled. Chuck an ice cube in, to bring it to cave temp, if need be.
This is where the wine shows it read as a rounded mouthfeel of blackberry, clove, licorice. Dark and persistent smoke, graphite and old belt leather.
A nice long finish and a taste of terroir. This is why you go old world when you can, to find the brilliance in the old ways.
Stinky and delicious, if you have an open mind.

Strong smooth mouthfeel with flavors almost reniscent of a port without the high sugar

This wine smells of a tobacco barn, just after a rain, with the wood cracking as it dries..

Smooth, silky, fruit leather, real leather, bee light and easy acids that are slightly more ahead of the chimps bits of tannins.
This wine has aged well.
and is drinking perfectly.

Juicy, ripe red fruit. Soft tannins.

Not bad! Perfectly serviceable and good with food.

Yum. Great value. Terrific with London broil in grill.

Very smooth. Excellent vintage.

3.25 a bit fruity but delicious. Regularly $12.99, on sale at $10.99
