Absolutely brilliant Rhone. 75% Grenache, 25% Syrah, this surprisingly inexpensive blend earned 92 points from Wine and Spirits and is just as good as any Chateuaneuf du Pape. It does, however, need at least 45 minutes in a decanter, but afterward the tannins soften quite a bit and you are able to savor the smooth, dark fruit. It is complex and structured. It has great balance as nothing stood out more than the other. The back label suggests to enjoy this wine with poultry or veal. It's too bold for that. We had it with steak and it was a great match. I never say this usually, but this would be one for the cellars... perhaps five years, but no more than seven in my amateur opinion. $15
