Tasting - Hecht & Bannier

Name: Hecht & Bannier Minervois
Variety: Blended - 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 10% Carignan
Region: Lanquedoc
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $26

Wine Spectator review: 90 - "Pureed raspberry, plum and spice flavors are lined with dusty tannins in this fresh, focused red. Hints of milk chocolate add a touch of richness, with floral and spice notes lingering on the crisp finish. Drink now through 2019. 645 cases imported."

My review: Wasn't a huge fan of this one by itself. Fresh, fruity aromas with layers of strawberries and raspberries. Medium tannins give this red blend a dry, tart finish that'll make your lips pucker and leave your mouth watering, which makes me think this wine is meant to be paired with food.

I tasted this wine without food.
