Domaine Saint-Felix Saint Chinian 2009 (about $15)







About the Wine:  Saint Chinian is a relatively recent sub appellation in southern France.  This particular wine is an organic Rhone style blend.

About THIS Wine:  The crimson center fades to a pink rim.  The nose has prominent sour cherry that I would associate with Pinot Noir, but there are also strong notes of earth and spice making for a more robust smell.  Licorice and spice make a very bold and pleasant palate that ends in a syrupy cherry finish.

Drinking This Wine:  Very versatile.  This could work as a sipping wine or pair with roast duck, ham, or pot roast.

Overall Impression:  The wine is good and the price is reasonable.  A wine of this quality would be good for this price in any case and the fact that it is organic makes it a good value.
