Reviews and Ratings

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

From Saint-Roch vineyards, an elegant blend of Syrah and Grenache from the Cotes du Roussillin region in the south of France. Aromas encompass bing cherries, roasted red bell pepper and enticing elements of smoky woody earth. Flavours are surprisingly fruity, with ripe raspberry, fleshy strawberry and fresh thyme. Acidity is crisp with a medium body, finish and silky tannins. Try with pork tenderloin and grilled portobello mushrooms. Cheers!
Saint-Roch 2017 Syrah and Grenache red wine blend is produced from old vines in the Côtes Du Roussillon, Roussillon wine region. Excellent value under $17 with rich, dark fruit, savoury spice and smoky toasty oak flavours on the palate. Full-bodied and supple on the palate. Pair with a sausage casserole. - Community Wine Reviews
