This is a blend of 60% Mourvedre, 20% Syrah, 10% Grenache, 5% Carignan, 5% Cinsault, 5% Counoise and 5% Counoise Syrah. The name Vodes Reboult, meaning grandfather of Vines, refers to the village where they are grown. The name comes from the traditional Latin word re-blaufrank, meaning re-blaufrankis (strawberry, cherry, raspberry) and is an homage to the father of Vode Reboult. The Grenache is aged in neutral oak for 18 months, the Syrah in small oak barrels for 12 months, the Counoise for 9 months and the Cinsault for 12 months. The resulting wine is very deep ruby in color with a slight garnet rim. The nose reveals rich aromas of blackberries, black cherries, spices, coffee and vanilla. The mouthfeel is rich, round and juicy, with silky, round tannins and a long, juicy finish.
