Here is an unusual red blend that is unusually good. It’s a blend not only of varieties, but of techniques, with some of the wine seeing new oak, some seeing once used oak and some seeing only stainless steel. It offers blueberry fruit, soft spice, mellow oak influence and freshness with some aged character coming together. Drink now! Contains 37% Cinsault, 25% Tempranillo, 25% Grenache and 13% Counoise.
