This was a runaway hit in 2020, catching us all a little by surprise as it flew off the shelves. Now, 200 or so cases later, it has become a staple for the store. The new vintage just released and we are stoked! It is every bit as delicious as the 2018. So we pressed for a deal price to reintroduce it to everyone! Here 'ya go!
40% Carignan, 30% Grenache and 30% Syrah. I think it is the Carignan that makes this wine particularly compelling. It adds tannins and acidity, giving this wine a whole lot more weight, body and excitement than is the norm for the price point. Wonderfully enticing with bright red berries, wild flowers, herbs de Provence and Rhone-like garrigue accents. The palate is fresh with red fruits galore and flecks of rocky minerals. Soft and silky on the tongue, with a fine core of tannins and a long seamless finish that’s bright with just enough acidity, keeping things really well balanced. This Corbieres has that “err, where did that glass go?” drinkability. But with good weight and sneaky complexity, I bet it’ll age gracefully for at least another 5 years.
“The vast Corbières zone in the Languedoc contains a little bit of everything, from classic warmth and generosity on the outskirts of Narbonne to wild mountain wines in the hinterland and concentrated, stony wines up on the border with the Agly Valley and the Roussillon. In a way, this blend of Carignan (a great Corbières speciality) with Syrah and Grenache brings all three styles together: flowers and fruit in the billowing, sweet-scented aromas and both generous fruits and something more stony and driving in the finely constructed palate. The tannins are present but unintimidating, and the acidity is unobtrusive and ripe. So easy to drink that you almost overlook those complexities -- but they'll keep you coming back for more.” – 97 pts Decanter on the 2018
