2007 Domaine de Fondreche, Cotes du Ventoux Cuvee Nadal, France

Just a coincidence but Parker did give this wine 92 points. It'll delight the pickiest of palates. Made from 45% Grenache, 45% Syrah and 10% Mouvèdre, you will enjoy the dark inky character as it easily displays its complexity and length. Amazing at this price point. Nadal requires 1–2 years again before it is released. Parker writes: "Deep ruby/purple, with kirsch liqueur, licorice, spring flowers, and black raspberries, the wine is dense, medium to full-bodied, and despite being aged in small barrels, displays virtually no evidence of any wood. The freshness of the acids buttress this substantial, rich wine, which should drink well for 4-6 years."
