This was another random purchase, but one that has worked out quite well. This is a dark, rich grenache that is almost shiraz like in dryness and flavour. The balance of the wine is nigh on perfect, and the colour is a rich red. Unfortunately no purple hue to it, but you cannot have everything.
I am drinking this in anticipation of my experimental lamb loin recipe that is in the oven. If this succeeds then I might get my wife to publish the recipe on her web site some time.
