Winemaker Notes

The Vieux Clocher Ventoux Rouge is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault... Their blending gives life to a wine with bouquet, subtle red fruit aromas, with touches of spice and garrigue. The mouth is harmonious, supple and generous, with a spicy finish.

Pair with charcuteries, white and red meat, roasted and grilled meat.

James Suckling

Some riper character with black-fruit and iodine-like, inky and tarry notes. The palate has ample fruit-depth, served up in a ripe bed of fine, glossy tannins. Smooth, round and ready.

Rhône Blends

With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.
