Vintage 2016 / made from #nielluciu #sciaccarello #syrah #grenache Bio-dynamic. Young vines. Just an unpretentious pleasurewine. With awesome balance and you do not need to search for spicyness, red fruit like raspberries. It is there immediately. Very nice wine from #corsica — 9 days ago

#frenchwine #redwine #languedoc #frenchredwine the #grenache, #syrah and #carignan are having a fruity party in my mouth. The perfect wine to drink at this transitional time of the year. Notes of Strawberry and raspberry provide the foundation and topped off with a hint of minerals. Very affordable, 2 thumbs up for this one! 👍🏻👍🏻 #lesdarons well done #jeffcarrel — 3 months ago

Vintage 2006 / made from #Grenache #Syrah #Mourvedre with 12 months on new oak barrels. Nice smell that gives more with aeration: spicy, impression of plums and chocolate. Smooth taste with good balance. Les vignerons de Roquemaure near Avignon are one of the impressive ‘cooperatives’ in France. — 4 months ago

To my taste, the best year-in, year-out red of French Catalonia. The confit red fruits, pie spice, bramble and wood smoke on the nose make you think it’s going to be a sledgehammer...and then it’s all elegance, filigree and lift on the palate, as it’s only 12.5% alcohol. Simple, non-interventionist vinification, but none of that natural bullshit. Everything in perfect order. #rocdesanges #roussillon #grenache #syrah #carignane — 23 days ago

Seamless, polished and chiseled Grenache/Syrah co-ferment. No brett; neither oxidative nor reductive. Impressively moderate (14%) alcohol for 2015; persistent and fine sandstone mineral qualities. All raspberries and almost plush. #magellan #grenache #syrah #pezenas #languedoc — 4 months ago

Sexy, fresh, Grenache-heavy. Fraises and framboises. Elegant, subtle herbaceousness, lower alcohol, not oxidative at all. Useful in the same way a lot of ‘08 southern Rhônes were. #jaume #vinsobres #rhone #grenache — 4 months ago

Energetic Luberon Grenache, with a serious edge rarely found in this appellation. Fresh and direct; well-balanced and neither reductive nor oxidative. #luberon #grenache — 2 months ago

First red made by Olivier Legranger, former enologist for Xavier Vins. Blackberry, mulberry, espresso. Displays an intensity and vigor that comes from a big hit of 60 y/o Carignan. Not your usual simple, grapey Ventoux! #domaineducolibri #ventoux #carignan #grenache #rhone — 4 months ago
