Country: France / Nessun Dorma
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine Maby / Lirac
This muscular blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre spends about a year in oak prior to bottling, yet the oak has integrated well, adding notes of clove and cinnamon. Cracked pepper, plums and black olives round out the flavor profile, and dusty tannins linger on the finish. Drink 2016–2025.
