'13 Flying Solo (grenache/syrah) 8/32 (replacing the La Boutanche)

'13 Flying Solo
(grenache/syrah)
Languedoc-Roussillion, France
red fruit, soft, smooth

Notes from the winery:  "We celebrate the pioneering aviators of the famous “Aeropostale” who risked all to deliver the first mail from France to Barcelona in 1918, then North Africa, and eventually even South America. These intrepid pilots flew solo from Toulouse, using our very own Tree of Moscou (L’Arbre de Moscou) as a key visual reference. Domaine Gayda is “Flying Solo” to deliver you our wines of exceptional quality and value from this enterprising region of France."

Tasting Notes: Aromas of young red berries, medium bodied, with soft tannins. Reminds me of fresh berries with vanilla ice cream. Balanced and smooth aftertaste. The grapes for this wine come from the Minervois region which is inside the Languedoc.  The wine is aged in fine lees for 6 months. This fresh red wine is ideal for spring, simple, drinkable, a crowd pleaser for sure.

Grapes: Grenache 60%, Syrah 40%.
