Bonny Doon's Le Cigare Volant
The eclectic Californian winery makes this southern Rhone blend with different proportions of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. The first vintage of Le Cigare Volant (flying saucer in French) was 1984. It honours a decree made by the council of Chateauneuf-du-Pape to ban flying saucers from the village in 1954.
