Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 La Bastienne comes skipping out of the glass with cheery notes of crushed black cherries, redcurrants and fresh, juicy blackberries, followed by hints of dusty soil, garrigue and lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of expressive black and red berry flavors, supported by firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long with an herbal lift.
