Why do blends work so well? Each grape has characteristics that complement those of its partner, bringing something to the table that the other does not possess. With the 2024 Chemin de Pinède Pays d'Oc Rouge, syrah's full body, sturdy tannins, black fruits, and peppery notes fit with granache's ebullient red fruits, herbal accents, and softer tannins like puzzle pieces. This classic blend is pure magic and makes it taste much more expensive than its $8 price tag!

The 2024 Chemin de Pinède Pays d'Oc Rouge is medium-to-full-bodied, with aromas of brambly red and black fruits and a palate of blackberries, black cherries, and raspberries laced with notes of rosemary, black pepper, licorice, and garrigue. Supple tannins and bright, juicy acidity lend structure and contribute to a long, satisfying finish.
