Rhone to the Bones  Ravoire & Fils  AOP Cotes du Rhône - France 65% Grenache - 35% Syrah SAQ Price: $ 15.85 (By Marina La Forgia) In my personal opinion, the Rhone Valley is one of those wine regions from France that offers modern and revolutionary wines without losing the essence of its terroir. This is one of them. The Rhone to the Bones by Ravoire & Fils producer is a classical blend of Syrah and Grenache with a rebellious image and a remarkable intensity. On the nose, it has the typical aromas of red fruits, but it also offers nice smoky notes. The palate is round and unctuous. The fruit is complemented by spicy notes that make it tasty and pleasant.

Max Reserva 2014 Grenache - Syrah - Mourvedre Viña Errazuriz Aconcagua Valley - Chile SAQ Price: $ 18.65 Coming out from the stereotype of intense mono varietal which is characteristic of the new world wines, we can now find in the SAQ shelves this elegant Garnacha-Syrah-Mourvedre, docile and seductive.
