Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 50% Carignan & 50% Grenache, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits and pepper spice notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with smoke and black pepper. Medium finish, fine tannins ending with earthy notes.

Refreshingly different and a grape blend we had not had before - was perfect with duckling!

Forgettable, rustic but in that way you’re trying to be polite.

Beautiful color in the glass and nice on the nose. Was looking for a Grenache— with this bottle it was 50%! With a little Syrah and 35% Carignan

Food friendly. Middle of road flavor. Pleasant every day wine. Like a good French table house wine.
