Oct 11, 2011- WS 90pts. - According to the Wine Spectator: There's impressive minerality to the dark fruit flavors and smoke notes that fill this ripe red to the brim. The powerfully tannic finish features intense baker's chocolate notes. Best from 2010 through 2014. 400 cases made. Importer Notes - Faugeres is located in northern Languedoc and the vineyards are planted on steep, south-facing slopes. The spine, fruit and structure all take a back seat to the seamless texture. This blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Mourvedre stands powerfully and gracefully. I'm not sure of the exact cepage but I would figure that Syrah is probably about half the blend with Mourvedre and Grenache adding suppleness. There is a bit of Christmas spice indicating some moderate oak use. The tannins are refined but present and perfectly encase the boysenberry, black cherry richness that caresses and then slowly dissipates as the acidity and cocoa notes lend a final dash of goodness to this treat.
