PACK BEST OF JEFF CARREL

I really like Jeff Carrell's wines. This one is from Morillon grapes, which is southern France name for Chardonnay. It has a sweet note to it, so if you don't want crisp and dry, but prefer some floral sweetness this one might be for you. I like the dry whites better, but this one is good value.

It may not be the most expensive wine, and the label may not impress your wine snob friends but it delivers great taste and is less than £10. Great with red meat or cheese!

Wow, a lot going on here! An interesting mix of old vines Grenache with more youthful Syrah. There is good acidity (which is sometimes lacking in "old vines wine") from the Syrah which is beautifully balanced with red-fruit-jam from the Grenache. Bold combination! Works! But wonder about ageing?

Bulls Eye from Jeff. I have enjoyed many of his wines, and particularly like the Les Darons and the La Bette. But this one is even better. Full of sunny days and southern French warmth. 80%Carignan and 20%Syrah - Let's go grill a lamb rack!
