Our “Languedoc” is the result of our extensive work with our growers and our constant tastings. This lovely wine expresses the ripe Syrah from the Languedoc’s cooler foothills blended with the soft and delicious Grenache from the Roussillon. The South of France is a fascinating Jigsaw puzzle of terroirs that we hope you will discover in this fruit driven wine, matured very naturally without any barrel aging.

The 2016 Hecht & Bannier Languedoc Red begins with pleasant but a bit subdued aromas of black cherry, raspberry and a little earthiness. Taking a sip reveals a juicy wine with lots of ripe fruit along with nice touches of pepper and spice. Mineral notes lead into the dry, quite long, mouth-gripping finish. There’s nothing overly complex about it, but it’s definitely an authentically tasty wine for the price. Unlike many red blends in this price range, there’s absolutely nothing that tastes manufactured here.
