Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Red wine braised short ribs
  • Grilled porterhouse steaks
  • Smoky BBQ pork ribs

This plush and satiny red made by a small producer in the Saint-Chinian section of the Languedoc glides over the palate effortlessly. Velvety layers of spiced black plum, brambly black raspberry fruit, and dark chocolate convene in a sexy, unabashed wine comprised of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan. This is a super slick crowd-pleaser.
