    Winemaker Notes

    Want a northern French styled Syrah like Cotie-Rotie at a fraction of the normal price? Try this unique and delicious blend of syrah, grenache, mourvedre and carignan from the Languedoc region - this is one of the most incredible values in red wine right now.

    "Deep red. Explosive aromas of smoky red and black fruits, roasted herbs and bacon fat; perfumed and Cote-Rotie-like. Then fresh, aromatic and penetrating, with complex flavors of raspberry, black olive tapenade, pepper and sweet herbs enlivened by firm acidity. Structured, gripping and very long on the finish. Offers terrific personality and sweetness. Like a dense Northern Rhone syrah."

    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.

    An extensive appellation producing a diverse selection of good quality and great values, Languedoc spans the Mediterranean coast from the Pyrenees mountains of Roussillon all the way to the Rhône Valley. Languedoc’s terrain is generally flat coastal plains, with a warm Mediterranean climate and frequent risk of drought.

    Virtually every style of wine is made in this expansive region. Most dry wines are blends with varietal choice strongly influenced by the neighboring Rhône Valley. For reds and rosés, the primary grapes include Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault and Mourvèdre. White varieties include Grenache Blanc, Muscat, Ugni Blanc, Vermentino, Macabéo, Clairette, Piquepoul and Bourbelenc.

    International varieties are also planted in large numbers here, in particular Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

    The key region for sparkling wines here is Limoux, where Blanquette de Limoux is believed to have been the first sparkling wine made in France, even before Champagne. Crémant de Limoux is produced in a more modern style.
