This wine is a winner. "Readers who don't think Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon can do well in the Mistral winds and dry heat of the southern Rhone should check out Soumade's offerings. St.-Emilion's guru, Stephane Derenoncourt is the consulting winemaker, which may help explain why these wines are so good. The 2006 Vin de Pays Merlot may be even better than the 2007, an anomaly between these two vintages. This seductive, lush effort reveals sweet black cherry, chocolate, coffee bean, and mocha characteristics. Round, broad, and savory with low acidity." 89/100 Parker
