Best Value Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review
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. August 8, 2015
