Thunevin-Calvet Cuvée Constance 2015

The entry-level red from this estate is the 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Cuvee Constance, and it's a beauty to buy by the case. Black raspberry, cassis, pepper and wood smoke all emerge from this total charmer that has ample fruit and texture, and a great finish. The blend is 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan aged all in concrete tanks. Drink Date: 2017-2020. Score - 91. (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, April 28, 2017)
