70% Syrah, 10% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Carignan, 5% Marselan. I am rarely a big fan of Syrah-dominated blends in the Southern Rhône as the grapes tend to suffer from intense heat. But this is an exception. Impressive freshness with lifted notes of plum, black liquorice and garrigue with a hint violet, supported by polished tannins and lively acidity. Easy to drink yet with a complexity that lingers in the finish. Burger please!
