Corbières, Dom. Faillenc Sainte Marie - 2019

Item # 37850 750mL

A harmonious, rustic-styled blend of Cabernet, Syrah, and Grenache. Dark fruit, with tons of violets, leather, spice, and great acidity on the palate. Pairs very well with grilled sausages, stews, and meats. There is a bit of a spritz when the bottle is first opened, some may prefer to decant.

Staff Pick Notes

You know that friend that is always willing to meet you for a drink? They’re usually stout of heart but carry themselves in a light and jovial fashion. That’s how you should think of reds from Corbières. The primary flavors (dark bush fruit, violets, spices, a bit of game) and body of this wine are certainly hearty, but the accompanying acidity makes it versatile and light on its feet. This gives you a wine you can truly chew the fat with and feel quite refreshed afterwards. Fry up some Bangers & Mash, pop some Corbières, and give thanks to that unfailing friend.

Glossary

Grenache

The Grenache grape (a.k.a. Grenache Noir) produces relatively pale, fruity red wines that often stop just short of sweetness. Grenache is familiar to most wine drinkers as an ingredient in the blends of the Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon, where it can add charm to varieties that are a little rougher around the edges. The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Mourvèdre

Known as Mataro in California and Monastrell in Spain, Mourvèdre can produce bold, tannic, highly alcoholic red wines. They usually show no shortage of fruit as well, and the best examples keep it all in perfect balance. Rhône-style blends are cropping up all over the world, and one of the classic tried-and-true combinations is "GSM," or Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre. The "M" contributes focus and fleshy character to blends - but Mourvèdre also shines on its own as a varietal wine.

Shiraz

We'd like to clear this up once and for all: the Shiraz grape is genetically identical to Syrah. Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...

Carignan

Grown all over Europe and the Americas, Carignan (a.k.a. Carignane, Carignano, and Cariñena) is seldom seen as a 100% varietal wine. Many appellations of Languedoc-Roussillon must include a certain percentage of Carignan, but it is rarely the dominant grape in these blends. For years, this naturally high-yielding grape suffered from overproduction, but New World winemakers have lately taken up the Carignan cause and produced some distinctive and delicious examples. Now that it is subject to...
