Domaine de Amouriers VDP Les Hautes Terrasses

This vin de pays is not your average table wine. When I brought it to my nose, I smelled everything from cherries, to the grapes, to hot dried prunes. It lasted about 12 seconds before going away, with only a little of that sort of peppery background you find in wines from that part of the country.

Incidentally, when I went outside early Sunday morning at the gite, I smelled that pepper background. Not sure what it comes from, but it's there.
