"Shi Fu Mi" means rock, paper, scissors in Japanese. This 90% Grenache, 8% Syrah and 2% Mourvdre is a fun introduction to the range of Cotes du Rhone, but is labeled as Vin de France because it is outside the AOC. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of ripe and fresh juicy red berries, such as strawberry and raspberry, intertwined with subtle hints of garrigue herbs, lavender, and a touch of white pepper. The palate is lush and inviting, with flavors of juicy plum, black cherry, and a whisper of licorice. The wine's minimal tannins and bright acidity create a harmonious structure, leading to a satisfying finish with lingering notes of fresh fruit and herbs.
It's juicy, fruity, delicious, not tannic - a perfect chilled red!
