This wine is a blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Carignane from the very warm Mediterranean coast in South eastern France, aged in concrete and bottled unfined and unfiltered. This Grenache comes through on the nose with aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, raspberry, licorice, minerals and dry herbs. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied, alcohol slightly high at 15%, balance acidity and interesting fine grain tannins. Very good length on the finish, sweet and bitter red fruit and earthy, rustic flavours, with some alcohol heat. An interesting and different wine for sure, very enjoyable and fairly priced. Score 89 points.
