The deliciousness to price ratio of this wine is outstanding. Goes down way too easily.

A 2017 red blend of 55% Grenache and 45% Syrah from the Pays d'Oc in the Languedoc region of Southern France. Pays d'Oc generates a lot of wine for France, and comes from any place in the Languedoc that is not government-accredited with official "appellation" status. That status guarantees the consumer a level of quality but wineries without the status could still be great and just do not want to be accredited. This wine has strong aromas of the region such as wild lavender and thyme. Black pepper, vague red fruit, flowers, bacon, baking spice. Surprisingly lighter bodied for Southern France. The tannins are gritty and the finish is like chewing on a woody stem. The price point is very attractive and a great introduction to this region.
