Les Foulards Rouges La Soif Du Mal Rouge 2023 Review
Another great example of Grenache’s lighter side, this bottle comes from the Roussilon region in southern France. Coming from young vines planted on granite soils, this wine is meant to be drunk now (preferably with friends in a backyard). It opens with brambly blackberry and raspberry notes, complemented by a savory, earthy layer. Though the palate is primarily dark-fruited, the bright acidity and moderate ABV keep it refreshing and gulpable rather than weighty and jammy.
