Château Tourril 2010 Panatella Syrah-Grenache (Minervois)

Country: France / Panatella
Variety: Syrah-Grenache Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: Château Tourril / Minervois

A blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache, this boasts assertive aromas and flavors of ripe black cherry, raspberry, bramble and licorice root, with accents of black pepper and cocoa powder. The velvety tannins frame the dark fruit core on the palate, with lingering notes of dried fig and charred pepper on the close.
