A Grenache-based red from sunny, dry vineyards just north of France’s southeastern Spanish border, this wine is filled with bright cherry and plum fruit flavors which are enhanced by subtle notes echoing leather and savory spice. Well-structured but soft and inviting, it is a wine to drink over the next couple of years, not one that will reward long cellaring.
