Crisp red berry and plum flavors dominate this medium-bodied red. This has a jammy finish, with cocoa powder and spice. Carignan, Grenache and Syrah. WINE SPECTATOR

"Bastide" is an ancient name for a fortified farm and this is a blend of carignan 45%, grenache 45% and 10% shiraz. The élevageis done in tank. It’s a great buy for an eminently honest wine (that is, one made without modern cellar shenanigans and without any additives) In Bastide, you can often find hightoned blueberry notes underpinned by Carignan’s tarry blackfruits.
