Buy Gerard Bertrand Minervois Syrah/Carignan

Non-discountable item
Its complex aromas of black fruit (black olives, blackberry) are developed due to the controlled extraction process during vinification. Its great fresh elegance and its rich, and full aromatic range (prune, roasted coffee, blackcurrant) gives this wine a unique well structured style.
Wine Spectator: Pure, powerful and minerally tasting, with good snap to the raspberry and wild plum flavors, which feature notes of savory herb. The vibrant finish puts the accent on slate and white pepper. Drink now through 2018. 3,000 cases made.

Wine maker notes
All the grapes are picked by hand only. After the harvest has been completely de-stemmed, each varietal grape is vinified separately in order to allow each to fulfill its potential. Syrah and Carignan go under a partial carbonic maceration. After the malolactic fermentation in vats, the different grape varieties are blended and the wine is matured in 225-litre Bordelaise barrels for eight months. After fining and bottled, the wine is kept for additional months before being released.
