Domaine des Escaravailles "Les Sablieres" Côtes du Rhône 2007

13$ at K&L, but it's sold out now. Digging the beetle on the label. 70% Grenache, with 20% Syrah, and 10% Carignan. Fruity and fresh, with lots of peppery cherries and raspberries. Lush, but with plenty of acidity, good balance and an earthy finish. I like this wine. It seems to be a good cross between new world and old world. Lots of fruit, but with earthier elements and acidity. B+/A-
