A blend of 60% Syrah, 35% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, the 2018 Pic Saint Loup Grande Cuvée spent 18 months in a mix of barriques and 400-liter barrels, yet the wine isn't overtly oaky. Garrigue marks the nose, followed by hints of cherries and raspberries, while the medium to full-bodied palate is smooth and silky in texture, gliding to a long finish tinged with espresso and dark chocolate.
