This is labelled as a Vin de Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône Terre de Camargue from the southern part of France near Arles. It is made from the Marselan grape which is a crossing of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, no sulfites were utilized. Purple/ruby in color. opaque and a bit flat. The nose is different. Raspberries, some cherries and a woody/stemmy quality. On the palate, tart cherries with sharp acidity. Not a lot of fruit. Shorter finish. This wine definitely needs food to tame the acidity. Pasta would be a nice choice. Drink now.
