The finish is very earthy and long lasting - very organic tasting - an amazing wine...

A soft, approachable Chateauneuf, with typical notes of blackberries, herbs and spice. I also picked up a slight raisiny note of the finish. A good wine to be sure, but I think that there are other Gigondas or Vacqueras than can be had for $12-15 less than are superior wines. Drink now.
