"Thanks to a combination of nature and nurture, Rhône reds have a warming, threedimensional quality that it is rare to find elsewhere. This delicious example, made from a blend of Grenache with a generous helping of syrah (aka shiraz), is from an area in the south of the region better known for pudding wines and sometime lacklustre reds. This, however, has larger-than-life, plumy flavours, that are a shining example of the perfect winter."
