Corbières, France - 60% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah
Generous aromas of fresh cherries, blackberries, and a hint of orange peel intertwine with subtle notes of cacao powder and delicate liquorice. Fragrant garrigue herbs, including lavender and rosemary, add a touch of Mediterranean character. The palate is round and well-balanced, offering a medium body supported by fine, dusty tannins.
Pairing Suggestion: Smooth enough it can be enjoyed on it's own, or try it with soft cheeses like goat, raw, or even blue cheese such as Roquefort. Roasted game meats like leg of lamb, grilled meats, or Cassoulet bean stew. If you like dry wine with your dessert, try a piece or two of dark chocolate.
This Easter will be perfect with any lamb, turkey, or smoked ham focused dish!
