Jeff Carrel Les Darons

This tremendous value wine from vigneron Jeff Carrel. When you crack a bottle (twist off now), its easy to understand why. The wine opens immediately in the glass with vibrant aromas of raspberries and strawberries. It's like the best fruit you can pick from the slightly overpriced stand you love at your local farmers' market. Layers of spice, tobacco and a touch of mineral provide the balance from keeping this too much of one thing. This is a luscious red that will transition from spring to summer drinking effortlessly. This is weeknight drinking that goes above-and-beyond!
