"Made from the same varietal composition, the 2005 Beaumes de Venise is a sleeper of the vintage. Notes of smoked herbs, meats, red and black fruits, and a hint of tar jump from the glass of this deep ruby/purple-hued wine. Medium-bodied with a Provençal-like personality . . . . I can’t speak highly enough of the job that Patrick Lesec does as a négociant, putting together interesting and high quality blends of Côtes-du-Rhônes and Châteauneuf-du-Papes."
