A blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre that was aged in 20% new demi-muids, the 2011 Rasteau offers up an interesting array of ground pepper, dried wood, tobacco and darker berry-styled fruit. Medium-bodied and nicely textured, it has loads of fruit and an upfront personality. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years. Importer: Serge Dore Selections, www.sergedoreselections.com
