Château De Treviac Arnaud Sié 2012, Corbières, Midi A.P., France: A luscious, smoky, full-bodied blend of syrah and grenache grapes, at a terrific price. Black pepper and fleshy black plum aromas. Velvet texture. Awesome! The southern French region of Corbières is often underestimated, and yet it's capable of producing blockbuster reds like this one. Usually carignan is part of the blend, but not in this case. Intense and satisfying. Pair with ribeye steak. Drink: 2015-2018. 670505 14.50% XD 750 mL  $16.95 Score: 92/100.

Aromatic and vibrant with notes of dark berries and violets. Robust yet supple. Drink: 2015-2022. 64956 13.90% XD 750 mL  $60.00 Score: 93/100. August 22, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine.
