From one of the greatest trios on the planet (Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre), Les Terrasses is a heady expression of the sunny schist soils of France’s Roussillon. Loaded with bacon fat, strawberry, blackberry, and dark soy, think of this as your “Châteauneuf Lite.” Ready to drink, a slight decant will benefit the reductive qualities of Mourvèdre’s strong presence. A nice pairing for smoked meats, roasted duck, or anything off-the-grill (fish included!), I’d keep a few extra bottles on-hand, because it’s always the season for a feast! ~Allegra A
