Les Cornuds Vinsobres Grenache Blend

From the family that owns Château de Beaucastel, this 50/50 blend of Grenache and Syrah delivers plenty of lush, dark fruit, floral, pepper and succulent herb character. It’s broad and fleshy in style, with discreet tannins and a long, smooth finish that features cherry and spice notes. $20.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, November 2021)

A delicious, affordable Vinsobres that easily holds its own against wines twice its cost/price point. A great representation of this northernmost aspect of of southern Rhone showing flowers, graphite and spices complimenting a mouthful of cherries unctuously drifting from one's lips to the throat before free falling home (sea, air & land; in my blood/hooyah!)... The pirate/cowboy/Viking returns home😉

Good. Grenache needed to open up a little, but good after 30 mins.

I love when wine smells like leather and olives..

Fine., but not my thing.

Nice work by Virgin Atlantic to have this onboard. Fresh and fruity southern Rhône deliciousness.

Really pretty wine. Has the elegance and finesse you would expect from the northernmost site in the southern Rhone. Plus, Syrah pepper and perfume for an added bonus.

Supremely complex red for the price. Old world earthy notes, with a watermelon jolly rancher hitting the back of the mouth. Smooth on the acid and spice.

Wow, I am blown away by this affordable French red wine (Vinsobres by Famille Perrin)! My fav wine that I've ever tried is is a Châteauneuf du Pape but I can't afford that. But now I have a new fav that I can afford!! Flavours of blackberry and cherry but it's not heavy. Awesome mouth feel with a tart finish. It feels sophisticated...
