"A 70-30 blend of Syrah and Grenache, the Syrah aged in small new oak barrels and the Grenache aged in small foudres. Château Lavabre's 2018 Pic Saint Loup presents ripe, exuberant aromas of plum and black cherry, supported by notes of baking spice and crushed stone. These same aromas support a full-bodied palate, adding a little relief to the waves of ripe fruit. Ripe, supple tannins provide the necessary structure. This delicious, easily accessible wine won't need any real cellar time after release." (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)
