Famille de Boel, Méditerranée IGP (Southern France) 2020

 Fruit forward and approachable, this wine will interest novices and wine nerds alike.  This wine is primarily Caladoc — a cross of Malbec and Grenache Noir.  I found notes of black and blue fruit throughout the wine’s palate impressions.  I also found both minerality and tobacco leaf, which provided complexity and held my attention with each sip.  This is a drink-now wine and earns its title, “Life is Fat!”
