Chateau Revelette, Coteaux d'Aix en Provenance, Le Grand Rouge 2005 Petite Sirah black olives and fragrantgarden herbs" Into Neck Joe Czerwinski The blend in Revelette's top red is 45% Syrah, 35% Cab Sauvignon and 20% Grenache, although it varies a bit from year to year. It's riper, warmer and richer than the regular red, with plenty of savory spice notes, lavender and black cherry fruit. It's long and richly tannic on the finish, but soft and rounded; a wine that you could drink now or hold up to 10 years.
