The 2009 Beaumes de Venise red

“The 2009 Beaumes de Venise red, which is 75% Grenache and the rest Syrah, is a round, juicy, earthy Cotes du Rhone-Villages, with notes of lavender, licorice, truffle and black cherry jam. It is medium-bodied, has light tannin, and is best drunk over the next 2-3 years.”
