Cabardès

A complex and characterful wine here - atypical in that it offers so much more than juicy plum fruit and is more like a full-bodied Rhône wine. On the nose there are aromas of bramble and hedgerow, a bit herbaceous, alongside roasted herbs. The palate is fresh with slightly cool blue fruits, blueberries, plums and cherries edged with a spearmint note. I feel I can taste the limestone terroir - the chalky minerality but balanced with supple and not too ripe fruit. The texture is luxuriously smooth. A really elegant wine, and for just over £10, a real find.
