Department 66 Painted Scars Grenache Syrah 2022 is a bold and expressive red wine from the prestigious Cotes Catalanes appellation in the Roussillon region of Southern France. Crafted by renowned winemaker Dave Phinney, this exceptional blend combines 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah sourced from old vines in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. The wine displays a deep crimson color with captivating aromas of ripe blackberry, black plum, blueberry, cardamom, dark chocolate, and crushed stone. Full-bodied and richly textured, it delivers concentrated dark fruit flavors, espresso, cocoa, and distinctive mineral notes. Balanced acidity, structured tannins, and a long, powerful finish make this wine an excellent choice for grilled meats, roasted lamb, hearty stews, and special occasions.
