A top notch, reasonably priced Vin du Mistral is the 1993 Le Mistral, comprised mostly of Grenache, but with some Petite Sirah, Mourvedra, Syrah, and Carignane in the blend. California's answer to a big, rich, fleshy Rhone wine, it exhibits a deep ruby color, a lot of pepper, black-cherry, and raspberry fruitiness, full body, some fatness and chewiness, and a lusty, heady finish. It is a mouthfilling, rich wine for drinking over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (707) 963-2745
