"A real bargain, from a producer renowned for top-of-the-range Chateâuneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhône. A herby, spicy wine. "

"From a Vin de Pays in the southern Vaucluse, a department whose vineyards include those of Châteauneuf du Pape and Gigondas. The blend marries Rhôneish garrigue with an international flavour (merlot and cabernet sauvignon sit alongside grenache and syrah), a boost that makes it work well with the richer flavours of lamb cooked with, say, prunes or merguez. Score: 4/5"
