The outstanding 2006 Cotes du Ventoux Persia (90% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre) is nearly as brilliant as the 2007. Sweet blackberry fruit notes intermixed with notions of charcoal, scorched earth, spice, and spring flowers are found in this deep ruby/purple-tinged 2006. It is a delicious, medium to full-bodied offering to enjoy over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
