Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Red wine-braised lamb shoulder
  • Grilled ribeye steaks
  • Herb-crusted prime rib roast

Muscular and brawny with currents of fig cake and black licorice, this spicy, grippy Provencal red demands fatty red meat and severely outperforms its price. Decant before drinking.
