Côtes du Roussillon: Cuvée Tradition 2009

The ‘Tradition’, which is made from a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, is a versatile, supple, mid-weight red with a couch of dark, plummy fruit and spicy undertones.

What others think of this wine...

The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com says:

A classic southern French red blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, this has supple fruit and velvety smooth tannins with a long earthy finish. A perfect winter red for meat winter stew. 89 points.

Simon Hoggart - The Spectator, October 2012 says:

As I never tire of saying, the best value French wines are to be found in the south and some of the very best come from Cotes de Roussillon. This tradition from the Domaine Ferrer Ribière is gorgeous - silky yet earthy, light enough to drink in quantity yet powerful enough to stand up to red meats, casseroles, game, or just to sip on its own.
