2018 Le Artishasic Vin Rouge Red Blend

The 2018 Le Artishasic Vin Rouge Red Blend is a captivating expression of winemaking artistry, seamlessly blending traditional varietals to create a symphony of flavors. Crafted with precision, this red blend exhibits a rich tapestry of dark fruit, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with subtle notes of cedar and vanilla. Winemaker Artie Johnson masterfully combines rich, Old World Rhône varieties—Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—to create a thoroughly New World take on the classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This full-bodied red blend is outrageously rich on the palate, offering well-balanced, integrated notes. Johnson uses just a touch of Syrah to draw out the wine’s peppery-spice and accent the red-fruit-rich Grenache and brambly Mourvèdre.
