Mas Champart
Vin de Pays d'Oc Syrah Blend
Languedoc Roussillon, France
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish /cloudy rim.
Fruity on the palate with blueberries, cherries, plums, currants, light wood, licorice, earth, spices, peppercorn, leather, tobacco, dark coffee and pencil lead. Really complex nose.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, wood, licorice, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead, spices, light vanilla, espresso, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and red chili pepper.
This 9 year old Red Blend from France is peaking now. Showing a great nose and a spicy palate.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up. Better after an hour of airtime, and becomes earthier as it opens up.
Easy drinking with nice complexity. Spicy and fruit forward. Good by itself or with food.
Not from a great vintage, but very drinkable now, even by itself. An interesting and engaging wine.
A blend of Cabernet Franc, Carignan and Syrah.
14% alcohol by volume.
89 points.

70% cab franc, 30% Syrah blend with a tight finish that just gets better as the bottle empties. I really dig this wine.

77% cab franc 23% syrah
Cool climate nose of cedar, graphite and black currants. Fresh loam, tree bark and leather, extremely well made... Reminiscent of diamond Mtn. Or Howell Mtn. grown cabs from the 70's.

Cab franc supported with some Syrah pepper. This would be amazing at 7-10 years.
