You see why this is a fav.
AOP Minervois

The tannins are soft but sturdy and the balance with the luscious fruit of the old vine produces a memorable and lovable red wine. Time is the secret: old vines; waiting for the perfect moment of maturity to harvest; time in the cave with careful attention during fermentation; time in the barrel; and taking time with special friends to savor it all.
IGP Pays de L'Herault
80% Grenache, 20% Syrah
From the cool cliffs of the beautiful Pic Saint-Loup comes this friendly, very drinkable blend of Grenache with a dash of Syrah. This is a charming, plum and baked cherry laced wine that has a lively fresh lift and smooth tannins carrying through to the plush finish. A perfect wine to share over a long barbeque feast, with vegetable tian for our vegetarian friends. Excellent in warmer weather when slightly chilled.

The mildly spicy palate is concentrated and silky but still fresh. The immediate freshness gives way to flavors of cooked raspberry, strawberries, and red plum with a note of freshly tanned leather. Smooth, juicy tannins offer smokiness and a lovely mouthfeel that lingers in the finish.
