This one was the star of our staff tasting for under $30 wines we landed in our new container- its a stunning old vine syrah. "The wines of Domaine la Bastide de Michel Oliver are made by superstar winemaker Michel Tardieu, of Tardieu-Laurent. Located in the heart of the Luberon region, at the edge of Provence, the estate is one of the rapidly rising stars of Southern France, producing stunningly rich, complex wines at outstanding prices. This wine is comprised of
80 % Syrah and 20 % Grenache, primarily older vines (20+ years), aged for 14 months in half barrels from France. The 2007 Cuvee Antoine is deep red with complex spice and black fruit aromas, intense, rich fruit and rounded tannins. Outstanding value!" Robert Parker
