Clos de Papes Le petit vind d’Avril Rouge

This wine is produced by the owner of Clos des Papes, Vincent Avril. It is sourced from vines near the Rhone River and is a bistro-style red that is a kitchen sink blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Mourvedre, Carignan and Cinsault. It is aged 1/3 in barrel and is a blend of 2/3 current vintage and 1/3 the previous vintage which is why this is a non-vintage wine. A wonderful, fun and easy-drinking red this is a great value and definitely displays the Clos des Papes lineage.
