2007 Galevan Paroles de Femme CdR

The blend is 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre and 10% Cinsault. A bit funky on opening but quickly resolving in the glass with a nose of ripe red fruit, dark leather and underlying spices. More of the same on the palate with lip-smacking red & black fruit, nice mouthfeel. Moderate finish. 14.5% alc/vol and a give-away $7.99 at Costco. Stock up, but be patient when serving and let it breathe in the glass for an hour or so before dinner. We paired it with a Saturday night omelet of fresh eggs, 'shroom, peppers, grated cheddar and onions. Very nice indeed.
