Good enough and cheap enough to be your organic house red. A touch coarse and gamy, but lifted raspberry and sour plum fruit, pepper and fennel display the ambience of southern France. Mid-weight and a touch sour. Chill and quaff with pasta. Might even hold a couple of years in the cellar. Vintages. LCBO 705632
