Anne Pichon Sauvage Syrah/Grenache Ventoux 2022

Andy Says: "If you haven't tried this beautiful Red from the slopes of Mont Ventoux, you're passing up a great value. This blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache comes from vineyards planted roughly 1200 feet higher than those neighboring Châteauneuf-du-Pape giving the wine freshness without sacrificing richness.
   Anne Pichon is deeply committed to organic and bio-dynamic farming and her wines are about as natural as they come. Despite the elevation, there is impressive depth in bottle balanced by the earthy character hinted at in the name, Sauvage, meaning wild. Expect flavors of black cherry, wild blueberry, eucalyptus, cinnamon, lavender and a savory note reminiscent of smoky bacon. Pair with game or hearty dishes with mushrooms or eggplant."
