Chateau Pesquie Quintessence 2005

At 80% syrah and 20% grenache, this wine is extremely full bodied. Freshly picked blackberries on the nose and licorice on the mid and back palate. For $25, you would be hard pressed to find a syrah/grenache blend from France that is this complex. The grenache really adds balance to the structure of the wine.

If you are having lamb for Easter, serve this wine with it. It will cut right through the meat.
