This Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Mourvedre blend never fails to delight.
It offers typical Southern Rhone value; it's a generous and thoughtful wine that combines the charm of the Old World and satisfying fruit of the New World.
The aromas here are sweet raspberry and cherry, mocha and vanilla, leather and garrigue underscored by peppery spices and lifted with notes of wildflowers. It is supple and thoroughly enjoyable - a perfect amalgamation of fruit and earthiness. Lovely depth and good length with roasted espresso, bittersweet cocoa and pepper on the finish. A 10-minute chill-down the fridge will benefit this wine and make it even more enjoyable.
