Listed in Wine and Spirits (Fall, 2012) as a Top 100 BESY BUY (best ratio of quality to price). Rated as highly recommended at 86 pts, with these words of praise, “The warmth of Southern France comes through in the blackberry jam flavors of this spicy, traditional blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault, a match for lamb stewed with olives.” I personally recommend this red as a wonderful fruity pairing for beef stews, lighter grill meats and most hard savory cheeses from our cheese shop. This “old farm” bottle is a must-try at your next party.
