La Vieille Ferme Côtes du Ventoux Rouge 2011
Ventoux, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceIt is scary what you can get from the Rhone for less than $13 in British Columbia. Perrin offers up a peppery version of its latest La Vieille Ferme with hints of ripe black cherries. The attack is soft and round with black raspberry, pepper and liquorice root flecked with mineral, spice and orange peels. You can drink this now or hold it for a year or two. The blend is mostly grenache with small percentages of syrah, mourvèdre and cinsault.
