This GSM (Grenach-Shiraz-Mourvedre) red blend offers intense aromas of licorice, cocoa, and spice. On the palate, it is rich and complex with soft tannins. Pairs well with grilled meats, lamb, cheese, roasted vegetables or bbq. Le Grand Noir® is what happens when an award-winning wine author and critic, a globetrotting winemaker, and an internationally acclaimed label-designer get together over a few good bottles of wine. They wondered how they might create a wine that brings together the classic and complex, food-friendly, flavors of France with the accessibility of the New World.
