Maison Ventenac - Vin de France - La Muse - Rouge - 2023

Wine:

Pure Syrah, the 2023 red Vin de France La Muse passionately and indulgently celebrates this grape variety; the beautiful smoky-bacon accents of the serene black—an ancient variety of Syrah—are pronounced, with a slight southern twang that complements its overall freshness. The concentrated palate maintains the crisp and juicy profile of the Syrah, smooth and unwooded, in a delightfully indulgent fashion. This wine is perfect for immediate pleasure, ideal with grilled pork ribs or fine charcuterie. A favorite of the selection committee, rated 92/100.
