Winemaker Jacques Granges and the team at Delas have been longtime advocates for this appellation, which lies somewhere between the Northern and Southern Rh?ne. The 2016 Grignan les Adhemar features herbal notes of bay and thyme, plenty of ripe black cherry fruit and just a bit of savory black olive. This blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah is medium-bodied, with supple tannins and warm, mouth-filling flavors that linger on the finish. It should drink well for at least 5 years.
