2019 Vignobles Lorgeril Cabardès Chateau de Caunettes, France, Languedoc, Wine Review

This is a 60/40 blend of Grenache and Syrah from southern France. Purple in color with ruby hues. The nose is deep with black cherries, black raspberries, spices and slight anise. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, flavors of black cherries. Solid finish. This is drinking well now and should continue for another two to three more years. It is nice on its own but probably better with food. A nice choice for Pizza night (no Pineapple).

This is a blend of 60% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 5% Viognier from southern France. Salmon pink/orange in color, clear and bright. The nose has cherries, slight strawberries, floral notes, salinity, and slight citrus. Light to medium bodied. On the palate, pink grapefruit comes out along with a touch of strawberries. There is some residual sugar here making this almost demi-sec. Tasty. Good finish. This is a light and breezy wine that is drinking well and reasonably diverse as far as food pairings. It would be great with a Beet and Roasted Goat Cheese Salad. Drink over the next year

In a recent blind tasting of Languedoc wines, this was the clear winner. It is a blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre. Purple in color, clear and bright. The nose has black cherries, black raspberries, spice, slight black olives and strawberries. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. Good balance. On the palate, this is tasty with flavors of black cherries and black raspberries along with a bit of spice and pepper. Nice finish. This drinks well on its own but better with food. This would be a nice wine with grilled meats or fowl. Drink over the next few years.

This is 100% Syrah from France. Garnet in color, ruby at the rim, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has some boysenberries and smoke. Medium bodied with light tannins. On the palate, cranberries, black cherries and some char. Moderate finish. This is a nice wine although I would have a hard time guessing Syrah if tasting blind. It drinks easy and price right. Drink over the next few years. It would work well with Indian food.

This is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan organically grown grapes from the south of France. Purple/ruby in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose has cherries, black raspberries, slight floral note and slight spice. Medium bodied. Good balance. On the palate, this drinks easy. Black raspberries, cherries with some spice. Good finish. This drinks well on its own and will work with a wide variety of foods (not seafood). A great choice for Pizza night. Great value.
