Natalie's Score: 89/100

A medium-plus-bodied red blend of 75% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 5% Carignan sourced from 40 plus year old vines from vineyards in the Languedoc. Fantastic value under $17. Look for ripe dark cherry, dried strawberry, dried tobacco, leather and pepper spice on the palate. Lovely and savoury.
