The 2007 Les Alcusses is a blend of 50% Monastrell with the balance Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo aged for four months in French oak. A glass-coating purple color, it reveals an alluring bouquet of violets, blueberry, and black cherry. Chunky and flavorful in the mouth, it has enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. Drink this slightly rustic effort through 2015.
