Wine Review: This red blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre from Southern France opens with aromas of blackberry, strawberry, gentle smoke, dried herbs and crushed limestone. On the palate. it has a medium-minus body with medium-plus acidity. It is fresh, lively, balanced, and simple. Although a bit tight right now. There are flavors of blackberry, graphite, oak, and black currant with a note of dried herbs. The finish is savory and long with grippy tannins. It would be a nice accompaniment to a charcuterie plate. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: Sourced from organically farmed (ECOCERT) vineyards, the fruit is destemmed, macerated, and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its natural vibrancy. A fresh version of a classic GSM blend from southern France, the 2024 Souleil Vin de Bonté Le Rouge captures the region’s lively, approachable style. This mix of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre pours ruby in the glass, releasing aromas of blueberry, blackberry, and dried herbs. The palate reveals crushed cherry, blackberry coulis, and a hint of white pepper, leading to a lifted, fruit forward finish. Best served slightly chilled, it pairs beautifully with smoky meats, juicy burgers, and more.
