Cuvée Tradition is a typical southern Rhône blend with 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault. The warm and juicy Grenache is well complemented by the structure and tannins of the Syrah, and the pleasant fruit flavors of Cinsault.

Tasting Notes:

An intense, generous nose of red fruit, garrigue, pepper and anise. A smooth wine with plenty of plum and black fruit that is complemented by pepper and spice flavors in good balance. Very approachable and amply powerful. Ideal with cold cuts, stews, melted cheese, and grilled chicken. Good now through 2010.
