A walk on the lighter side of the Languedoc, this bottle of Carignan, Syrah & Cinsault disarms you with its fruit notes of oozy cranberry & strawberry before seducing & devouring you in a cloud of pasilla chile & potpourri dry ice. It’s a little dramatic, a little easy, and very sexy.

Super fruity— face-in-strawberries (seasonally appropriate)?— but light and easy to drink.

Very strong on opening, needs a confident food pairing. Much smoother after being open (with a cork) for a few days it smoothed out and became mellow and very pleasant.
