Less drying or herbaceous than some other Cazes wines I tasted, their Syrah-Grenache-Carignan- Mourvedre 2008 Credo (entirely hand-harvested, unlike their other wines) was fermented for three weeks from uncrushed berries in upright barriques, an approach in which they were guided by well-known Spanish oenologue Rene Barbier. Wood smoke, resinous herbs, black fruits, molasses, caramel, and coffee make for a striking aromatic display and palate-clinging finish, though hardly a wine of elegance or pretending to offer cut or refreshment. I suspect that it will be best drunk within the next 2-3 years. Laying claim to the world's largest biodynamically-farmed vineyard holdings (an incredible 200 hectares, much of it in one block) - after having implemented an experimental regimen already in 1997 - Domaine Cazes has recently taken on Claude Gros as oenological consultant, and several of the wines he offered me as examples of what is to come from this Rivesaltes-based estate could be recommended.Cazes wines have various importers, though I found none currently listing these particular cuvees.
