Our first vintage of Pioneer House Red is a blend of six classic Rhône Valley varieties: Counoise, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Grenache, Viognier and Cinsault.   Its enticing red-fruit aromas mingle fresh strawberry and raspberry scents with intriguing notes of game, earth and wild herbs.  On the velvety palate, fine-grained tannins frame warm strawberry, red currant, vanilla, game, herbs de Provence and toast flavors, which persist through a lingering, fruit-filled finish.  Complex and flavorful, this delightful Provencal-style blend is a joy to drink now with herb-roasted chicken, grilled lamb and spicy sausages, but it will age well for another 4-6 years.
