2012 Chateau de Selle

(made from 50% grenache, 30% cinsault, 15% syrah and 5% cabernet sauvignon): Bright orange-pink. Complex scents of fresh citrus fruits, pink grapefruit and chalky minerals, along with a sexy floral overtone. Stains the palate with energetic citrus fruit and red berry flavors that pick up spiciness with air. Finishes nervy, precise and persistent, with a dusty, stony quality.
