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.
