Winemaker Notes

Deep, juicy, and redolent with the savory scents of crushed berries and wild herbs, the 2019 Château Cabezac Minervois Tradition Rouge epitomizes the hedonistic pleasure one can expect from the Dondains and the venerable appellation of Minervois. Round and full in flavor, yet delightfully silky and supple in texture, this red blend (50% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Carignan) graces the palate with beautiful fruit-forward flavors imbued with hints of fennel, rosemary, and pepper. Fresh, clean, and packed with flavor, Château Cabezac’s 2019 Tradition Rouge presents itself as a real crowd pleaser. Although anything but ordinary, Gontran Dondain’s 2019 Minervois Tradition Rouge makes a strong case for becoming our new everyday go-to wine. Enjoy this delightful red early and often at cool room temperature (58°-62° F). Anticipated maturity: 2021-2025. Enjoy!
