Xavier Vignon 2016 Esprit Français Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)
Plump and fruity, this Grenache-dominant blend offers a sunny attack bursting with luscious blackberry and blueberry flavors. It's an unctuous, fruity wine cushioned by soft acidity and feathery tannins. Immediately enjoyable but it should hold through 2021. Anna Lee C. Iijima
