Marquis de Beau Rond Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, 750ml bottle (1)

Cabernet-Sauvignon 70%, Syrah 30%. Parker comments on the 2006: The 2006 Vin de Pays Gard Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah is all charm and fruit. The acidity gives freshness, liveliness, and delineation to the wine’s character. There is plenty of sweet black cherry and black currant fruit in this medium-bodied, straightforward 2006.
