Outstanding notes of black cherries, iodine, shrimp broth, and marine-like nuances emerge from the 2016 Saint Chinian La Lauzeta. This Syrah-dominated effort has medium-bodied aromas and flavors, clean, pure fruit, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish.

A ripe, fleshy style with full-bodied layers of crushed plum and framed by fruitcake and a lingering expresso note.
“Blended from lots of different plots in Chakana’s Agrelo holdings, this is a great value Malbec that has backed off on both the oak and alcohol in recent years. Perfumed and well balanced, it’s an elegant, refined red with a streak of greenness adding freshness to the finish.” Tim Atkin
