This Grenache-based blend also contains Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise. It has a wonderful perfumed aroma of cranberries and pomegranates that invites you to take a sip. The wine shows juicy cherry and berry flavors, with a touch of spice, along with bright acidity and integrated tannins. Very drinkable.
