Made of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, this wine comes from the southern part of the Côtes du Rhône region near Orange, Vaucluse in France, and more specifically just outside the village of Camaret.  This is not far from the famous Chateauneuf du Pape appellation.  Domaine du Vieux Chene produces a number of wines from these vineyards with organic farming techniques.

The fruit dominates the nose of this wine.  Blackberry, plum and some raspberry.  There are also vanilla and oak aromas.  The palate is very well balanced.  There is a good presence of ripe berry flavors with a crisp acidity to make it lively.  The finish is very long and enjoyable, and brings a little bit of heat to the party.

All told, this is a very enjoyable wine and a good value at $12.99.
