GUINIGI

Maris Rouge Blend, Pays d’Oc, France ($15)

Made from 70% Merlot and 30% Syrah grown organically and vinified without added sulfur, this medium-bodied red punches above its weight. Impressively expressive in terms of aroma and flavor in relation to its moderate richness, it features both red and black fruit tones with finely balanced acidity and tannin. Pure but not simple, this offers very good value.
