Gravillas 2023 Vin de France "Cote Obscur"

The Clos du Gravillas "Cote Obscur" is "a blend of Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon which gives a deep wine with aromas of black fruits, ink and leather. When the old scoundrels of Carignan meet the beautiful and dashing Cabernet Sauvignons from the mountains..." Very ripe black fruit on the nose whilst the palate hews more towards tart cassis and dusty earthy notes. Medium bodied with supple tannins;  an excellent wine for a wide variety of cuisines and dishes such as cheese and charcuterie, barbecue and hamburgers, serve slightly cool. -Giselle Hamburg
