2006 Corbières Rouge, Col des Vents, Castelmaure 12/750ml
50% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah.
Ripe blueberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, spices, black
pepper. A good balance and a long, smooth finish. Easy
drinking style of wine.
"Strikingly-packaged
and user-friendly. Aromas of ripe black cherry and mulberry
with hints of thyme and rosemary lead to a juicy, satisfying
black fruit and herb-filled palate incorporating hints of game
and crushed stone. This wine avoids the coarseness or
rusticity that plague many wines of its appellation."
- Wine Advocate (#178, Aug. 2008), 87 pts
"Twist a few arms if you must to get hold of some bottles
of the Castelmaure Col des Vents 2006, Corbières. This blend
of 50 percent carignan, 35 percent grenache and 15 percent
syrah is produced by a cooperative that receives consulting
from the great Tardieu Laurent winery in the northern Rhone
Valley; the attention to detail is evident. The wine is
bright, clean and attractive, bursting with scents and flavors
of spiced and roasted black currants and blueberries infused
with smoke and minerals. It feels a bit untamed, lively and
peppery, nestled on dusty briers, brambles and underbrush, a
sort of velvety yet prickly Br’er Rabbit of a wine for
everyday drinking. This would be a great addition to
restaurant wine by the glass programs. Very Good+."

2005 Corbières Rouge, Col des Vents, Castelmaure 12/750ml
The
"Col des Vents" refers to the hills of the
Corbières region which are swept by night winds coming off
the sea and cooling the vineyards.
50% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah.
Ripe blueberry, cherry and
garrigue flavors. A real value, this is a
retailers' dream given the quality of the wine and the upscale
package.
"Medium-bodied, with plenty of red plum and pepper
flavors. The spicy finish features some herbal notes. Drink
now."
