Grenache/Syrah/Mourvedre blend from Rhône Valley, France Vibrant, savory, and concentrated, this is a great example of the cooler, more refined side of the Rhône. Think the spirit of Côte-Rôtie at a weeknight price. Ripe blackberry, Bing cherry, black pepper, allspice, crushed violets, and olive tapenade on the finish. Soft and polished tannins, medium- medium plus body, it strikes the perfect balance between fruit and herbal qualities. For someone looking for a middle of the road red who enjoys the classics.
