Le Mistral Grenache




 Price point warning.  I had purchased this bottle for a special occasion and then forgot how special of occasion I meant for this one to be.  I opened it to have last night with salmon for dinner and love it so much I want to blog about it.  Fair warning, this bottle is more than double my normal top dollar price range.

I love Grenache.  It’s a low tannin, grape tasting wine that pairs nicely with most foods.  It tastes like fresh raspberry, ripe strawberry, and cherry.   It you look hard enough, you’ll also find cola and a bit of earth. 

It’s not too complex, a very easy wine to sip with or without food. 

If you’re up for a splurge, give this one a try.  It’s nicely balanced and I’m certain you’ll love it.
