Domaine Saint Andéol Visan Cotes du Rhone Villages Préference 2007 AOC

Variety: could not find the co position, it will be Grenache Syrah, maybe Mourvedre
Country of origin: France
Wine appellation: Cotes du Rhone
Vintage: 2007
Alcohol content: 14.0%
Color: darker ruby red
Bouquet: overripe sour cherries, blackberries, huge fruit, feels very juicy
Taste: medium to full body, black sour cherries, blackberries, good acidity, slightly higher but nice tannins, spices, longer warm finish
Recommended food pairing: steak
Overall score: 4+8+12+7+7+50=86
Price: CZK 299
Stopper: single piece cork
This is what I expect from CDR wine, huge fruit combined with nice acidity and slight spice and earthiness. Much better than the Domaine de la Mordoreé Cotes du Rhone 2009 AOC tasted as sample No.1. and more vivid, but slightly less elegant  than Domaine Saint Andéol Cairanne Cotes du Rhone Villages Prestige 2005 AOC tasted as sample No.3.
