This sensational blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 20% Carignan and 5% Cinsault displays knockout aromas of black cherry and cassis alongside asphalt and black olive. It’s an intense and compelling mix of fruity and savory, with a long, mouthwatering finish.

$12
A blend of 80% Grenache Blanc and 20% Bourboulenc, this Sensation makes a bold impact, offering assertive notes of peach and pineapple that verge on the tropical. (Is that banana and mango as well?) It's plump but not heavy, with a clean, fresh finish. Drink over the next 6-12 months.
