Critic Robert Parker on Domaine Fondreche
"Fondreche is the reference point for what can be done in the Cotes du Ventoux. This is a source of sensational wines that still sell for incredibly fair prices, and virtually every one of these selections proves that you don't have to drink luxury-priced Bordeaux, Burgundy, or Napa Cabernets to experience the multiple joys of wine."

2006 Domaine Fondreche Cotes du Ventoux "Cuvée Nadal"
On Sale $25.99
"The 2006 Nadal, which in this vintage is a blend of 45% old vine Grenache (vines planted in 1936), 45% old vine Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre, has a dark ruby/purple color, a big, sweet kiss of kirsch liqueur intermixed with licorice, loamy soil notes, and hints of pepper and lavender. It is full-bodied, fleshy, rich, and ideal for drinking over the next 4-5 years."
