Grenache, Syrah, Vaccarèse & Carignan, Rhone Valley, France
A sleek & sophisticated red blend from historic CdP that’s like wearing the perfect trench coat on a windy day, a totally casual, off-the-cuff moment of drama and elegance – just another day in being you! Named after the famously strong Mistral winds, this is a fresh-faced take on an often-oaked classic featuring not-often-seen Vaccarèse, destemmed and done in tank to emphasize freshness and terroir. Charming at first sip with pretty perfumed fruit, a swish of plummy dark fruit, citrus peel, dusty potpourri, green peppercorn & ground clove in a voluminous, medium-bodied package. Naturally suited towards the dinner table, or perhaps beside the grill where it’ll love a ‘lil miso grilled shishito. Yummm.
