SAINT MONT
Les Vielles Vignes Red Blend
“A blend of Tannat, Pinenc (a native Occtaine grape with different names by location), and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is powerfully structured and dense. The wood aging still shows as a contrast with the bold black fruits. This will change as it matures into a rich wine with great concentration.” -R.V., Wine Ethusiast
