I really enjoyed this wine. A straight ahead grenache. Very red. But the syrah adds a bunch of spicy notes that come together like magic. Baking spices I want to say. When these guys say on the bottle that this is for pairing with vegetable dishes, I guess that speaks to the lightness I feel here. I'm starting to enjoy these medium bodied wines more and more and yes, I could see this pairing very well with a tray of grilled vegetables. I like.
