A classic since 1950, Parallle 45 remains the gold standard for what Ctes-du-Rhne can achieve. Named for the latitude where great wines flourish worldwide, this organic-farmed blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvdre, Marselan, and Carignan from 40-year-old vines hits all the right notes: juicy red berries, dried thyme, bay leaves, and silky tannins. The 2022 offers immediate pleasure with real substance beneath.
