Domaine Bernard Gripa VdF Cerise Rouge 2017 EARHARDT concrete and neutral barrels toThis is the fun, no rules bottling from Saint Joseph stalwart Domaine Bernard Gripa. Declassified to Vin de France, Cerise blends Syrah with Cabernet Sauvignon into an easygoing, fruit forward red that doesn't take itself too seriously. The name says it all: think bright cherry and red berries, a little pepper and a soft, supple frame with gentle tannins. It's the kind of red you can chill down slightly and pour without ceremony.
