Domaine de Trévallon Rouge, Alpilles, Provence, 2014
Crafted from an iconoclastic equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grown on stony limestone soils, this mid-weight 2014 Provençal vintage offers a beautifully gracious and fresh expression. It seamlessly balances a detailed bouquet of dried herbs, sour cherry, and pipe tobacco with lively natural acidity, melting tannins, and a characterful, mineral-fresh finish.
