Domaine Jubain, La Vitalis, AOP Cairanne, 2020

There's aromatic richness to this Grenache-dominant blend, suggesting notes of smoked nut, earth and violet alongside intensely ripe black fruit. Black-plum and cherry flavors are silky yet fresh, framed by finely textured but persistent tannins. Syrah & Grenache is a quintessential red blend calling for red fleshed foods – from beef and lamb to tuna, goose and game, or else fattier cuts of pork.
