Made from a kitchen sink grape blend, the newest offering of the non-vintage Plan Pegau Lot 2007 is a beauty. Essentially a high class Cotes du Rhone, this dark ruby blend of Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, and Merlot exhibits lots of peppery, herbes de Provence, black cherry, and earthy notes. It is a velvety-textured, fruity, classic example of a southern Rhone wine to enjoy over the next several years. The negociant line of wines from Domaine du Pegau is sold under the label Selection Laurence Feraud, and they are all noteworthy efforts as one might expect given all the contacts Laurence and her father, Paul, have in the southern Rhone Valley.Importers: Dan Kravitz, Hand Picked Selections, Warrenton, VA; tel.
