2000 Les Jamelles Cab-Merlot "Selection Speciale"

[Drew]

With our Friday night tenderloin, yukon gold garlic mashers and salad. This is a limited bottling of 2500 cases. Clear dark ruby, not opaque. Dark plum, bright fruit and a little chocolate on the nose. Bright flavors that mimic the nose with a tannic mid-palate that takes you to a 20 sec. finish. A well crafted wine but nothing "Speciale", just not my style. 13%Alc/vol. $15.

Where exactly is this wine produced? 20 second finish--sad!!!

Foodie, it's a Vin De Pays D'oc, Languedoc-Roussillon near the city of Carassonne. Aged 9 months in French oak and bottled without filtration.

Sounds like if they filtered and fined it you'd be making the post under the Blush Thread. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

Drew, look for Les Jamelles Syrah, 2000. It's still a VdP, but a much better quaffer than the blend that you describe. Nice with grilled burgers, especially. And still only about $7.99.
