Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of black raspberry, black plum, leather, and creme de cassis and cocoa nibs with a medium body and a medium finish that exhibits overtones of black currant, roses, and smoky dried flowers. Dusty earth and minerality coupled with red and black fruit gives this wine the ability to go well with food.

Southern French Red

Southern French red is a catchall category that covers many different types of wines from the south of France. Included in this are red wines from Provence, Languedoc-Roussilon and the Rhone Valley. Most of these wines are made from Rhone varieties such as Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Carignan and while may of them are moderately priced wines for short term-drinking, as with a Provence red or a Cotes-du-Rhone, there are some red wines from the southern of France, such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape that are medium-full to full bodied and crafted to drink well for more than a decade.

These southern French reds work with a variety of foods, such as casserole for the lighter versions, all the way to lamb shank or wild game for the more robust wines.
