This alluring wine has the concentration to age but there's nothing to get in the way of drinking it on the young side.

These full-bodied wines primarily feature Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, with bold flavours of dark fruit, spices, and earthy undertones, often with a peppery note and velvety texture.
