We are very pleased to represent part of Kermit Lynch's portfolio and especially his estate in Vacqueyras, Sang des Cailloux. We got the 2006 in a few months ago and have been letting it sit in the cellar since then. We recently tried one and were overjoyed with the results. The 2005 was big and kind of sloppy of which can easily happen to Grenache in hot weather. The 2006, however, reminds us of the 2001 in that it has more delicate and subtle fruit and is lighter in body. We feel that Sang (and many other wines) is at its best when nature gives less scorching sun. Washoe Wine currently carries both the 2005 and 2006 and a wonderful experiment would be to try them next to one another. Why not throw a tri-tip on the barbecue and go after it?

Yumm. I think I like Sang des Cailloux better relatively young than with age. Anyone else feel that way?
