The 2012 Domaine de Trevallon IGP des Alpilles Rouge is a proprietary blend from Southern France. This red wine, produced by Domaine de Trevallon, features a classic cork closure and showcases the region's characteristic flavors and aromas.

According to Jeb Dunnuck from jebdunnuck.com, this wine earns a solid score of 92. He notes that it is "one of the more youthful and unevolved in this retrospective." Dunnuck describes the wine as having a profile of "ripe cherries, blackberries, Provençal herbs, and a hint of sandalwood," which contribute to its medium to full-bodied nature. He further mentions that the wine is "still tight, yet pure and balanced" with "fine tannin and a great finish." Dunnuck suggests giving the wine a few more years to age, likening it to a "slightly lighter weight 2005," and recommends enjoying it over the next decade.

Wine Spectator also reviewed the 2012 vintage, awarding it a score of 91. The review highlights a "tantalizing flicker of juniper" that complements the "core of steeped plum and black currant fruit" which "steadily builds through the finish." Additional notes of "leather and humus" add complexity to the background flavors. Wine Spectator remarks that this wine, composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, "should develop well in the cellar."

In summary, the 2012 Domaine de Trevallon IGP des Alpilles Rouge is a well-regarded wine that shows promise for further aging. It presents a balanced and pure profile with a mix of fruit and herbaceous notes, and has received praise for its potential longevity. Both Jeb Dunnuck and Wine Spectator recognize its quality and suggest that it will continue to develop positively over time.
