RATINGS

Ripe and burly, with a good backbone of loamy acidity and tannins, this shows accents of smoky raspberry, grilled herb, licorice and peppered beef.

TYPE

Red Wine, Grenache

One of the most popular red varieties planted, it ripens late and prefers hot dry climates. It probably originated in Spain, where it is still widely grown. Grenache is best known for its use in Southern Rhone wines, including those of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
