2007 Ventoux, Domaine des Anges, Rhône Valley, France, 14.5%
Irish-owned Domaine des Anges has been showing the locals how to make fresh, scented quaffable reds at a fair price for decades. 2007 was a particulary good vintage, and this is ripe and full, but seductively scented with cool orchard air, and the dark red fruit of cherries and strawberries flows effortlessly through the local landscape of rocks and herbs.
