The 2006 Vin de Pays Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah exhibits outstanding potential. Its deep purple color is followed by aromas of cedar, black currants, bay leaves, and spice. Ripe, with terrific fruit as well as impressive purity and length, it should be consumed over the next 5-6 years. This excellent estate in the Costieres de Nimes continues to turn out some superb bargain-priced wines that consumers should seek out for relief from increasingly higher prices as well as the weak dollar. The 2006 red wines all reveal zesty acidity, beautiful pure fruit, perhaps not the structure of the 2005s, but they are more friendly. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel.
