| 50% syrah, 50% grenache; This chateau is located in the southern Rhone, in the village of Ventoux. The wine is complex and medium-to-full bodied with plenty of dark red fruit in the nose and on the palate. Medium oak and balanced tannins provide a nice finish. |

| RP 90. A gorgeous tank-fermented and aged Spanish red, Panarroz’s deep ruby/purple-colored 2003 is a super value from Jumilla. A blend of equal parts Syrah, Mourvedre, and Grenache, it boasts a deep ruby/purple color to the rim as well as a rich perfume of pen ink, graphite, blackberries, and currants. Consume this medium-bodied, nicely textured, plump, juicy 2003 over the next 1-2 years. |
