While the dominant grape in many a Côtes-du-Rhône is the generous and friendly Grenache, Delas makes Syrah the star of the show with 90 percent of the blend and Grenache playing a supporting role at ten percent. So, consider this one a food wine with its black cherry fruit highlighted with black pepper and rock-solid tannins. The lush strawberry fruit of the Grenache makes itself known in the mid-palate. Altogether, it’s considerable wine, especially for the price.
