Hecht & Bannier Languedoc

"This Hecht & Bannier 2007 Languedoc is constituted primarily of Syrah from Saint Chinian and the Terrasses du Larzac, and Grenache from Roussillon. The wine is so exuberantly and insistently redolent of fresh black raspberry, so salty, incisively bright, pungently herbal, and spicy, that it should act like a tonic on uninitiated and jaded palates alike. It certainly stimulated my appetite and finished with a broad smile." -Wine Advocate

"There's a strong menthol presence here, illuminated by notes of raspberry, red plum, African violet and dark chocolate. The full mouth avoids feeling fat with excellent acidity and balanced tannins. Pepper and spice unfold amidst red fruit flavors on the palate, followed by a decadent mocha note on the finish." -Wine Enthusiast
