2020 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Rouge
Selected by Kermit LynchA blend of Grenache, Syrah, Merlot, and Marselan may sound like an odd mix of bedfellows, but there is a method to this madness. Hailing from a parcel of co-planted vines adjacent to the family home, these varieties were planted together with the express purpose of making the house rouge, the everyday vibrant and juicy drink you’d bring to the table in a jug and drink out of a cup. While the wine was never meant to be exported, thankfully Kermit convinced the family many years ago to let us share in the experience. Jug and cup are not included, yet highly recommended.

2022 Côtes du Rhône Villages Rouge
