La Croix de Saint Jean
Minervois Lo Mainatge Red Rhone Blend
Minervois, Languedoc, Languedoc Roussillon, France
A second Acker buy. CVed with first 3/25/20. Lighter and medium bodied wine that’s balanced and good pairing for lots of food. Got that stimulating texture of the Southern Rhône blend. Great buy! AA5. Opened 6/6/20 very fresh texture still with the lighter not so complex red berry notes that paired very well with Amah bone soup with highly watered down Kimchee. Relatively simple but still a good pairing wine. 70 Grenache 30 Syrah.

Dec 26th, 2015Opened up quite nicely with a bit of air, showcasing some cherry and spice. Very fruit forward with flavors of dark fruits and pepper with really nice acidity and well integrated tannins. This is a simple French wine and very typical of the Rhone, but in my opinion those are positive qualities.

Fun Rhone with soft berry notes. Everyone enjoyed with our prime rib Christmas dinner.

Dec 26th, 2014Wow - an excellent French Red @ around $30.00. A wonderful dry-yet-sooth 2009 vintage. Overall - a solid 9/10!
