2018 Chateau Juvenal La Terre du Petit Homme Ventoux (WAS $17.99)

"Unctuous and rich, this full-bodied blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre is a hedonistic expression of the Ventoux. Densely concentrated flavors of crème de cassis and plum preserve are streaked by vanilla, licorice and clove. Soft tannins accentuate its plush disposition. At peak now, the wine should hold through 2027." - Anna Lee C. IlJima Review Date: November 2020

"Stepping up in price as well as quality, the 2018 Ventoux La Terre Du Petit Homme is 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre, with the Grenache brought up in tank and the rest in barrel. It offers a deep purple color as well as terrific notes of black raspberries, ground pepper, crushed violets, and classic Southern Rhône garrigue and herbal notes. Medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced, with ripe yet present tannins, it's a brilliant wine in the making." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: August 2019
