Abbotts Boreas Coteaux du Languedoc Rouge 1998

Fruit from carefully selected, low yielding vineyards was harvested in the cool of the morning. Once blended, the wine is matured in a combination of one- and three-year-old barrels for 14 months, giving a harmonious blend of spicy, raspberry fruit and vanillin oak characters. While the wine may be enjoyed now, it has been created to benefit from medium-term cellaring---about 5-10 years. 60% Shiraz 35% Grenache 5% Mourvedre
