Fitou that smells like Cote Rotie

[Todd Abrams]

2012 Domaine Les Mille Vignes "Cadette" - Equal parts grenache, carignan and mourvedre from Fitou Maritime. All stainless aging. I've been tasting this bottle every day this week and most recently the aromatics struck me as all Cote Rotie meatflowers. Crazy Juice. Not having much Fitou in my lifetime I'm wondering if this is more of an expression of producer or appellation. Anyone know Fitou?

I remember a Fitou Kermit brought in for awhile, years ago, that was a pretty baby

Never seen this. Although it looks like it's indeed a Kermit import and costs almost as much as Cote-Rotie, at least on left coast.

A new Kermit import and not cheap on the Third Coast either. Damn good though.
