Chateau Pesquie Silica Rouge 2018

Description

Breathtaking in freshness and delicate on the palate, this full-bodied but airy red is a marvelous study of Grenache grown on sand and limestone soils at 1,000 feet above sea level. Don’t be alarmed by the 15.5% listed alcohol—this wine is powerfully concentrated but almost ballerina-like on its feet. A small amount of Cinsault in the blend lends zest and a kiss of blossomy perfume on the finish. Stunning young, the wine should hold well through 2030.
