The Château Loisel link gives the varietal composition of Naïck and Grenache only represents 10%; Cinsault is 50% which could account for a reported taste of prunes.
Incidentally it looks, from the same site, as if the number following "Naîck" give a clue to the vintage, viz. Naiïck 2 is 2002, Naïck 3 is 2003 and so on. A neat way to get round a stupid law!

What surprises me is the $30 tag for a Vin de Table NV.
Tim York wrote:Bob, the Oustal Blanc range is expensive here, too; which is the reason why I haven't bought any, though the quality is good. Their top Minervois La Livinière goes for some €29 . One of my reference books quotes the cellar door retail price of Naick6 at €12; so I guess a trade price of €9. You can estimate the profits of the Canadian distribution chain from there.
