This delightful wine is from Château Ruffinatto in Menerbes, France. a hilltop town in the Rhône valley. It is cultivated from 50 year old vines and hand harvested. It is a classic blend of grenache, syrah, and mourvèdre, with a little carignan and counoise added in. It has a deep red color with violet hues and a captivating nose of black fruits, cherries and spice. It is beautifully balanced with round, silky tannins and a long smooth finish. It pairs perfectly with meat dishes, such as beef or lamb, red sauces or cheese.
