Bernard Gripa, Cerise Rouge Vin De France, 2020

A Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon blend labeled as Vin de France, Cerise comes from Mauves in the Northern Rhône, where the Gripa family has been making wine since the 17th century. Domaine Bernard Gripa is now in its fourth generation under Fabrice Gripa's direction. This wine is entirely vinified and aged in stainless steel for 12 months, emphasizing fruit purity and freshness over oak. Cerise delivers expressive, tasty character with a quality-to-value ratio that is hard to beat—a straightforward, food-friendly red that reflects Fabrice's philosophy of balance and restraint.
