2005 Domaine Lafage Grenache Noir
The Domain Lafage is made by the husband and wife team led by Jean-Marc
Lafage. They also make wines for wineries in Spain and South America,
working with the importer mentioned above, Eric Solomon. Their homebase
is in Cotes de Roussillon in the south of France. The Lafage style is
to sometimes disregard convention, and in the case of this wine they
chose to vint it without oak and to bottle it unfiltered. The results
are a smooth, approachable medium bodied wine. There is plum and dark
cherry in the nose, with a little bit of pepper and spice. On the
palate the wine has great structure and is incredibly versatile, able
to pair with a variety of foods. The flavors in the mouth are more
plum, cranberry and a little earthy truffle-like quality. Very balanced
with soft tannins and a longish finish. We found this wine to be a
pleasant surprise and quite delicious. This is another example of a
very well priced house wine, something that you could drink often with
dinner without breaking the bank.
