Saint-Benoit, "Grande Garde" Chateauneuf du Pape 2003

Red, garnet rim.

Baked clay, garrigue and a lifted, floral, red fruit note.

Intense garrigue spice and red fruit flavors, medium to light-bodied. No fat here, but nice textural breadth in the mouth. Acid-driven tannin provides front teeth, finishing, chew.

Good, honest action.
