The label doesn't give much away about this wine but I know from the name Cabrieres (a tiny village in the Languedoc in southern France) that it'll be a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre & Carignan, so similar to Cotes du Rhone, Cotes du Roussillon et al. The fruit is super ripe and brambly (blackberry and blueberry fruit) with some delicious sweet spice (vanilla) and a good level of acidity which would make this great with roast lamb or pork belly because it would help cut through the fat. It was also very tasty with the Manchego we were scoffing this evening! A good juicy red for this beautiful Autumnal weather.
Happy Swigging!
