"Villa des Anges" is crafted by winemaker Jeff Carrel at the Espitalet des Anges domaine in Capestang. Situated on the ruins of an ancient Roman villa, the domaine is owned by Jaqueline Menard de Ginestous, who married-into and is herself from a prominent Languedocienne wine-growing family. An unadulterated 100% Cab Sauvignon from Jacqueline Ménard's estate, made by Jeff Carrel. No staves, no Mega Purple, no tricks—just native-yeast fermentation and a hands-off approach that lets the fruit speak for itself. Unashamedly modern in style, it delivers explosive blackberry and cassis fruit, notes of licorice, impressive concentration and freshness, all wrapped in a supple, approachable texture. Straddling the fine line between Old World character and New World exuberance, this is a Cabernet with both authenticity and immediate appeal. At this price, it's hard to think of a better value in the category.--------------TASTING NOTES---------- A beautifully balanced Cabernet. Offers great freshness, intensity and concentration. Well-structured, offering aromas of black cherries, with hints of red pepper and light, spicy cumin/coriander notes.
