The label Fat Bastard comes from a British expression describing a particularly rich and full wine. What's inside the bottle is an expression of true French wine.
This wine is a Vin de Pays d'Oc appellation, which means it is basically a country wine that comes from the Languedoc region of France. The grapes are sourced from vineyards influenced by the Mediterranean climate of south France. The wine is made on the lees (dead yeast cells left in the barrel) for a fuller taste.
The result is medium-bodied, bright ruby red wine that displays juicy red fruit flavors and very delicate tannins that mark a fine pinot.
Sherry: "Raspberry, strawberry and cherry with a little clove on the finish." 3-1/2 stars
Chris: "Strawberry and cherry, with a finish of dry mint." 3-1/2 stars
Available locally for about $9.
Coming next week: Concannon Conservancy Petite Sirah
