    La Font du Vent 2005 Les Promesses Red (Côtes du Rhône)

    While the winery's Notre Passion bottling is 50-50 Grenache and Syrah, Les Promesses gives Grenache more weight (70%), blending it with 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. The result is a similarly silky, charming wine with hints of clove and cracked pepper in its raspberry-cherry fruit. Drink now–2012.
