This is a wine I found on the wine list at Zingerman's Road House in Ann Arbor. It's a Southern Rhone blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre plus some Sangiovese. As a long-time fan of Southern Rhone wines, I don't detect any real similarity to a Cotes du Rhone, but it is an enjoyable wine, and I was happy to learn that profits from this particular wine are returned to the vineyard workers--the cuadrilla or "crew."
Deep and dark. Black and red berries, purple plums, lavender. Lots of Syrah qualities. A plush, fruit-filled wine with some weight and complexity on the mid-palate. A good match for the iconic Grillade and Grits dish that is always on the Roadhouse Sunday menu.
