Plaisance-Penavayre Cosmopotes Rouge 24

This wine from the Fronton appellation radiates a deep, violet-tinged ruby color. The nose is explosively fruity and fragrant, bursting with aromas of freshly crushed blackberries, violets, and a hint of black pepper. The palate is juicy and round, with a soft, supple texture, very low tannins, and bright acidity that makes it incredibly gluggable. Flavors of ripe blueberries and plum jam dominate the easy-going, fruit-forward finish. A blend of Negrette and Syrah, it is vinified using carbonic maceration to maximize its fruit-forward and playful character, making it a quintessential vin de soif. Earning 88 points for its delicious simplicity, this is the ultimate barbecue wine, perfect with burgers, grilled sausages, or casual snacks.
