Whoa. That perfect interplay of Grenache elegance and Syrah power. Meaty but refined. Great after about a half an hour in the glass.

Nice set of four Vacqueuras 60/40 Grenache/Syrah blends from Henri Bungener at RawWine LA, represented by the Carmin Brillant here. Each of the four are the same blend but each from a different part of the Vineyard slope with different soil/geologic features. The Fruit Sauvage bottling was a 9.2 and went very well with Soft Pretzel and Sausage sampler at Tabula Rasa.

Wild but fruity- lots of brambles, blackberry jam, and cherry with some spice on the finish.

This was delicious. Fruity, earthy, paired nicely with a lamb pasta.
