Wineberry Box Domaine le Garrigon Red

60% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 10% Syrah “When I first poured it I could not help but note the almost fluorescent purple hints that danced vibrantly on the sides of the glass. This had all of the classic earmarks of a cotes du rhone and once I stuck my nose in the glass I was met with a… forgive me… noseful of even more confirmations. It was what I fondly think of when encountering a CDR- which is a fruit basket. There were black fruits and blue fruits and a handful of red fruits- there was a hint of crisp freshness- a crunchiness that made my mouth water- there were spicy notes and a bit of candied apple and cotton candy. It was true to form- Domaine Le Garrigon 2019 CDR- The palate was everything I expected it to be- it was bright, juicy, fruit forward and balanced- but it also had weight and complexity that certainly belies an incredibly value friendly wine. I found this wine had an elegance and long finish especially from a region already known and heralded for its reasonably priced offerings. Well done and well received. I would drink this any day with a wild mushroom risotto, or a lightly seasoned leg of lamb. My mouth is already watering thinking about it…” Crystl Faye Horton, Wine Director Del frisco New York
