Produced from 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache, the bright, expressive, lively, ruby-colored 1999 St.-Chinian Domaine de Ministre reveals a juicy, red cherry-scented nose in addition to sweet red and blackberry flavors. Light to medium-bodied and well-balanced, it is fruit-forward yet has a rustic finish. Drink it over the next three years.Importer: Ex Cellars, Solvang, CA; tel (805) 686-9153.
