2019 Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Visan “Orpiment”
Maxime François LaurentA glorious ruby robe with purplish glints prefaces this blend of old Grenache with some Syrah from the Visan subzone of the Côtes-du-Rhône. The nose follows with evocative scents of Provence: sun-ripened blackberries, lavender, black olive, garrigue...A dusting of earthy tannins gives this plump, generous red just enough texture and grip.

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
