Monique Sosa rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Rich round and mouthwatering! I have high hopes of enjoying this wine on many more occassions this summer season. The aromas show pronouced plum, cassis, black cherry, cedar, mint an bay leaf. The palate shows an enticing balance of ripe berry fruit concentration, high mouthwatering acidity and polished tannins. The finish is long with ripe berry, coco and a lingering savory note. Enjoy this full bodied red wine now with braised beef, roasted rack of lamb or grilled beef or bison tenderloin. Tasted April 2016.

Jon Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A wonderful 2014 vintage 13.5% abv, brilliant ruby red with typicity. On the nose rose, petals, red currant, fresh raspberry, cigar box and savoury herbs. Likewise on the palate, with complementary wet stone minerality, star anise, baking spice. This is a full-bodied , medium plus alcohol, ripe integrated tannins, high acidity and medium plus fruit. Well balanced and ready to drink. Enjoy 2016-2019. Near its prime when tasted April 2016. Great value at an accessible price. Strong buy recommended. Pair with espresso rubbed pork tenderloin or roasted red meats, especially a roasted rack of lamb, @jonsteeves rated 90/100

Natalie's Review

Mas des Bressades Cuvée Tradition Syrah Grenache 2014, Rhone Costières De Nîmes A.P., France: Savoury and dark with big black fruit, smoke and meaty notes. A heart of darkness runs through this rich, deep, full-bodied wine. This wine is blend of Syrah and Grenache grapes, from a region you should put on your radar. This is an incredible price. Drink: 2016-2020. 143099 14% XD 750 mL $17.95 Score: 89/100. April 2, 2016 Best Value Red Wine. Vital Vegetarian Pizza Wine Full Review
