From the Côtes Du Roussillon, Midi wine region, Saint-Roch Chimères 2020 is a dry, medium-plus-bodied red blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan grapes. Produced by winemaker Jean-Marc Lafage. Look for dark cherry, ripe plum, sweet baking spice, wild herbs and pepper spice flavours generous and plushy on the palate. Overdelivers at $20.

Grenache Syrah Carignan food pairings: smoky game burgers, beef steak, rack of lamb.

Produced by winemaker Jean-Marc Lafage, Saint-Roch Chimères 2020 is a dry, medium-plus-bodied Côtes du Roussillon Villages Grenache, Syrah and Carignan red wine blend. Fragrant with dried thyme and other wild herbs, black cherry, anise, baking spice and chocolate flavours with a touch of mint on a lingering finish, this generous red from the Midi wine region overdelivers for $20. Drink or hold. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
