title: Château du Galoupet 2005 Red (Côtes de Provence)
description: Not as impressive as Galoupet's white or rosé, this blend of Syrah (60%), Grenache (20%) and Mourvèdre (20%) shows a strong earthy, minerally component garnished with bits of cedar and spice. There's some plummy fruit carried by soft tannins and moderate palate weight, but the earthy notes are dominant, ending on hints of game.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
