In a world where your old reliable Cotes-du-Rhone is now fetching upwards of $30 a pop and things like Touraine Sauvignon Blanc are inexplicably allocated, the now exceedingly rare instances where a wine is both delicious *and* an undeniable value feel like a warm hug that you want to go on forever. And Penya's bistro-tuned, fresh-as-can-be blend of Grenache, Carignane, Mourvedre, and Syrah is exactly that, its dark fruit, pop of spice, and silky tannins coating the palate and lingering with more presence than it has any right to at this price point. There's no pretense here, just perfectly simple juice that is completely at home with any food you want to throw at it. Buy this one by the case - trust us!
