Domaine Pinchinat, "Venus de Pinchinat" Rouge (3 liter Bag-in-Box), Provence, France 2020
{organic} Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon
DARK BERRIES, CURRANTS, & SMOKE. RICH & SMOOTH
The vineyards of Domaine Pinchinat have been farmed for wine grapes since the Romans occupied this area 2000 years ago. The famous Venus of Aix-en-Provence and dozens of other Paleolithic artifacts have been found among these very vines. Today, Alain deWelle farms these lands, as his family has for at least 20 generations. This red is dark, rich and satisfying, but also smooth and very quaffable. Historic, even!
Serving Suggestion: Great w/ a simple roast, grilled meats or veggies, burgers, meatloaf or pasta. Give it a little chill & it works w/ pork, chicken & even tuna salad.
