This luminous, unoaked blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre is a consistent bang-for-your-buck introduction to a Northern Rhône heavyweight producer. It highlights delightfully fresh, juicy blackberry and raspberry flavors accented by whispers of cinnamon, anise and allspice. Soft in tannins and zippy on the finish. Best Buy
This red delivers a lovely stream of violet, cassis and cherry puree notes, flecked with a hint of garrigue along the way, ending with a long, silky-edged finish. Drink now.
