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.

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.
