2018 Maison Cassagne et Vitailles Terrasses du Larzac Clas Mani, France, Languedoc, Wine Review

This is mostly Syrah from the southern France AOP of Terrasses du Larzac.  Ruby/purple in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has black raspberries, an interesting cinnamon note and other baking spices.  Soft texture.  Medium to firm tannins.  On the palate, black raspberries and black cherries with a bit of spice.  Good finish.  This is drinking well now and probably just about at peak.  Drink over the next year or two.  It is nice on its own and will work well with Cassoulet or other meat stew type dishes.
