Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of red currant, cedar, smoke, and leather. Full bodied and smooth, with a hint of a peppery finish. Enjoy with a BBQ steak.
From the Minervois, Languedoc wine region, Gerard Bertrand's 2016 Syrah and Carignan red wine blend is full-bodied and rich with dark fruit, black cherry, savoury herbs and smoky, toasty oak flavours on the palate. Pair with lamburgers. - Community Wine Reviews
