Natalie's Score: 90/100

From the Fitou, Midi wine region, Gérard Bertrand An 990 2020 is a fresh, fruity, spicy red and great value at $18. The year 990 on this wine's label refers to the feudal citadel of Fitou that marked the border between the kingdoms of France and Aragon. Look for bright red berry, cherry, strawberry, wild herbs and spicy flavours on this dry, medium-bodied and plushy red wine blend of carbonic macerated Carignan and Grenache. The wine was aged up to 12 months in French oak barrels.

Grenache Carignan food pairings: grilled pork chops, rack of BBQ ribs, veal Porterhouse, grilled lamb, lentil dishes.
