Natalie's Score: 89/100

This robust southern French red wine has seductive aromas of black cherry liqueur, dark spice and some oak. Very attractive, especially for the price. This full-bodied red wine is a blend of mostly Grenache grapes and the remainder Mourvèdre and Syrah grapes for the 2010 grapes. Decant 2 hours. Pair with grilled meats.

Food pairings: meat pizza, roast pheasant, Porchetta pork roast.

Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Absolutely delicious! A Beautiful bouquet of black cherry, plum, all spice, clove, anise, cedar, tobacco, and leather billow from a glass of Xavier. Flavours linger on and on with prominent notes of cherry and winter spices. A full-bodied Rhone red with high balanced acidity, satiny developing tannins, and a long berry anise finish. Tasted July 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
This Rhône red is a robust, black cherry, spice and smoky red from the Côtes du Rhône. This full-bodied red wine is a blend of mostly old vines Grenache with Mourvèdre and Syrah. Nicely structured and balanced, pair with grilled lamb chops. - Community Wine Reviews
