"Presented as a prospective blend of 45% tank-aged Grenache, 45% Syrah and 10% Carignan (both aged in older barrels), the 2017 Minervois Giocoso offers big, mixed-berry flavors. It's full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with a firm core of tannins, but still finishes on a velvety note. Promising stuff."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
