The Becky Wasserman portfolio is mostly known for Burgundy wines, but here is a very unique lower-priced bargain.   Petit Sonnailler is a spectacular property situated in the Salon-de-Provence area of southern France. The Château dates back to the 10th century and sources their grapes 2 hectare of limestone soils. As is typical for the Provence region, the vines grow among fields of lavender, pine trees, and fresh thyme, all of which influence the aromatic complexity of these wines.

This red blend is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet, and a grape called "Caladoc", which is a grafting of Malbec and Grenache.  We at City Wine had never heard of this grape!   This is "real wine".  It has personality, uniqueness, and we think it is very cool and a tremendous bargain.   MOVE FAST.
