2 / RED DELICIOUSNESS

FROM THE TANK VIN ROUGE $33

This hand-harvested rouge lets the natural yeast on the skins of its grenache, Syrah, and Carignane do the fermenting work, and the result is a fresh, vibrant crowd-pleaser. “It’s a pretty lean wine,” says Dominick Purnomo, wine director of Yono’s and DP, An American Brasserie, both in Albany, New York. “But it has good fruit flavors, and a little smoke, pepperiness, and dark cocoa as well.”
