Chateau des Cres Ricards, Terrasses Du Larzac (Languedoc, France) 2013

This wine contains 60% Syrah, 25% Grenache and 15% Carignan.  Well blended elements of red meat, blueberry, blackberry, pepper and anise come through on nose and palate, all staying in the mix through a long finish where the Carignan character shows up smartly. This is fine food wine that won’t break your budget!
